LCSRA will be offering two camps this summer, youth and teen camp, for seven
sessions. At each camp site, campers are assigned to small groups based on
age and ability. The goal of camp is to help each camper improve motor skills
and physical fitness, encourage the campers to interact with peers, retain
skills through activities to increase attention span, fine motor, self-expression
and language skills, and provide daily experiences that help each child feel
successful and good about themselves.
Camp Sessions: Camp will run Monday - Friday, June 15 - July 31, with no camp
July 2 & 3.
Registration:
To help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), LCSRA has decided to postpone Day Camp Registration Opening Day scheduled for April 18 until further noticed. We will provide you with updates as more information becomes available.
In order for your registration to be processed, both the registration form and
annual information form must be completed, along with 50% of the total camp
fees. The balance is due June 1. No refunds will be given for missed days due to
illness or vacation.
All outstanding balances need to be paid in full.
Medication: Campers who take medicine must bring the medication and
specific instructions for administering it to the LCSRA office by May 24. Not all
medications can be given out by LCSRA staff. Medication must be approved by
the Therapeutic Recreation Supervisor of the camp or the Superintendent of
Special Recreation before it can be given to your child at camp. All medication
must be in an original container and will be held by staff.
Camp Staff: Camp staff have a college degree or experience working with
people with disabilities or are studying therapeutic recreation, education or a
related field.
Lunch: Campers need to bring a sack lunch and drink to camp every day, unless
notified. Lunches will not be refrigerated.
Field Trips: Field trips and in-house field trips/special guests will be taken
throughout camp. On swim days, please pack a swimsuit, towel and sunscreen.
