DAY CAMP INFORMATIONOur main goal for Summer Day Camp is that our campers have the Best Summer Ever! Daily activities are designed toenhance each camper’s competence, connections, character, confidence and in the long term, their individualcontribution to our community. One of the ways in which we achieve these goals is by providing challengingactivities in both small and large group settings. In addition to swimming, sports and other traditional outdoorcamp activities, we provide experiences that connect campers to the natural environment of our town parks.

Camp staff is chosen carefully and trained to provide campers with a fun and supportive atmosphere. Our staffmembers facilitate an environment where campers can learn new skills, make friends, and most importantly developself-confidence. Newtown Parks and Recreation’s Summer Day Camps provide the opportunity for your child to feelsafe, run, sing, laugh and grow.

THE FACILITIESCamp is held at Treadwell Park, 47 Philo Curtis Road, Sandy Hook, CT and at Dickinson Park, 50 Elm Drive, Newtown,CT. The facilities offer a variety of amenities, which include playground areas, a picnic pavilion, tennis & basketballcourts, ball fields, skate park (Dickinson Park only), Pool (Treadwell Park only), and restrooms.

THE STAFFCamp directors and counselors are teachers and college students who have been camp participants themselves. Weinvest in advanced skill training for all of our staff, making them even more child-centered and skilled so as topositively impact the campers. We have returning staff each year, which is a wonderful indication of how much ourteam loves working at camp and with your children.

DAY CAMP HOURS9:00 AM – 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday, with drop off time beginning at 8:50 AM and pick up promptly at 3:00PM. Please respect the camp hours and make every effort to drop off and pick up your child on time.

EXTENDED DAYEarly Drop Off is available starting at 8:00 am and Extended Stay until 6:00 pm sharp! If a parent/guardian isextremely late picking up their child, they will be charged a late fee of $15.00 per day. This fee must be paid in theoffice the next day. If a parent/guardian is consistently late picking up their child, they will be asked not to bringtheir child/children back to camp. NO refunds are given for Early Drop Off or Extended Stay, therefore it is requestedthat careful consideration be given prior to registering. If you are registering for Extended Day, please register onlinebefore the Monday on which camp starts. If you are picking your child up early, it is extremely important to send anote to the counselor. A child must have a note from a parent/guardian to be allowed to walk or bike home.

A TYPICAL DAY AT CAMPEvery morning all counselors and campers come together for “opening circle” which starts the positive energyflowing. During opening circle, our camp director welcomes everyone and shares plans for the exciting day to come.Camp ends with “closing circle” which is presented by either the camp director or a counselor and is a review of thefun day that campers experienced.

Throughout the day, campers will participate in a variety of activities. Activities include sports, arts and crafts,skateboard (Dickinson only), swimming (Treadwell only), water slide (Dickinson only), general games, camp-wideactivities and more. Campers also enjoy fun theme days such as Pirates Day, Hawaiian Day, Wacky Day and CarnivalDay.

WHAT SHOULD MY CAMPER BRING TO CAMP?

Each day throughout the summer, campers should bring the following in a backpack: lunch, swim suit, towel, water,

drink, sunscreen, hat, fruit and a snack. Campers should wear sneakers every day for safety reasons as our outdoor

camp involves plenty of walking and running.

Please be sure to clearly label all of your campers’ personal belongings with first and last name, including towels,

lunch bags, water bottles, etc. Labeling will ensure that any misplaced items are returned to you. If by chance your

camper loses something, there will be a Lost & Found located in the camp shed that you can check all summer long

for lost items. Please note that Lost & Found is removed and donated to a local charity every two weeks.

THINGS NOT TO BRING TO CAMP

Campers are encouraged to keep personal items and valuables at home. NO cell phones, trading cards or anything

that is valuable. We cannot be responsible for these items, and it is easier if they are kept home. Additional items

that are not permitted at camp are water guns, any sharp objects or weapons, gum or glass bottles.

FIELD TRIP

Field trips and special events will be planned for each session at a nominal fee. Detailed information on field trips

is found online. All campers must be registered online by 7AM on the day of the field trip to avoid disappointment. To

find trips please search online under activity number 77777 and all trips will show up below. Camp will be held for

those children not attending field trips.

Pen administration. Our Site Directors, Head Counselors and the Camper Support Counselor have been certified in

Medical Administration. Please note that Counselors are not permitted to remove ticks. You will be contacted if a tick

is found on your child during camp.

BEHAVIOR

If a counselor is experiencing behavior problems with a child, the parents will be called. We will provide support

and do all we can to resolve any issues. If the problem continues, the parents will be asked to remove the child from

camp. REFUNDS will not be given if a child is asked to leave camp.

SUNSCREEN POLICY

We ask that you apply the appropriate SPF sunscreen protection to your child/children before they head off to camp.

Please include sunscreen protection in your camper’s backpack. We recommend that your child/children apply their

sunscreen throughout the day. We will remind all campers to reapply their sunscreen.

permission/release form and give to your counselor. The same applies to bug spray application.

send your camper with plenty of liquids (especially water).

Campers must bring their own lunch every day labeled with their first and last name. We have refrigeration on site
