Youth Services Division

• 2009 Fall School's Out Camp Survey

The primary purpose of the Youth Service Division’s Day Camp Programs (Summer Daze, SummerFest, Specialty and Schools Out Camps) is to provide safe, accountable, fun recreational activities for children in grades K-8 (age 5 by the start of camp) year round. The Counselor in Training (CIT) program is designed to provide a work-study internship for rising 10–12 graders during the summer.

The camp activities are designed to enhance the development of leisure, social and physical skills. They are child-centered and child-directed. Recreation activities are planned and developed to meet the individual child’s special need or interests.

Goals and Objectives

These goals and objectives are taken into account when preparing daily and weekly plans. They are to:

• provide a program which encourages children to reach their highest potential during activities;
• provide instruction in basic recreation skills, which can be used both immediately and in the future;
• integrate the children into the community;
• encourage participation in activities according to children’s abilities, not their disabilities;
• improve awareness of recreation, education and community resources;
• offer high-quality programming; and
• provide a safe, healthy environment for the children and the staff.
