REC Summer Camp is a user pay program for children ages 5½ to 12. This recreation program incorporates education and fun. We strive to provide these services in a fun, safe and wholesome environment that allows our young people to grow as individuals while interacting as a group. Children are encouraged to participate in all scheduled activities; however, if they choose not to, alternate activities are available. All programs are supervised by trained CPR certified recreation leaders. To see an overview of each day's activities, please visit the REC Camp Summer Program 2012 webpage.
