Summer & Adventure Camp 2010

Two camps are offered during the summer.  Both are held at the same location and run under the same staff.  The prime differences are the age group of the children, ratios of campers to counselors and activities they participate in.  All grades used for the 2010 camps are the grades the children are in during the 2009 to 2010 school year. 

Summer Camp

The Solon Summer Camp is a day camp for pre-kindergarten to fourth graders (child must be at least 5 years old and no older than 12 on their first day of camp).  Camp consists of sports, swimming, activities, field trips and much, much more.  The campers will have one big field trip per week, included in the fee for camp.  A tentative calendar will be available prior to registration.

Adventure Camp

The Solon Adventure Camp is a day camp for current fifth & sixth graders (child must be 12 years old or younger on their first day of camp).  This camp provides the older campers with more age appropriate activities and field trips, approximately three trips per week.  Adventure Camp stresses group cooperation and respect, socialization with peers and developing a personal enjoyment of outdoor activities.  A tentative calendar will be available prior to registration.

Registration Information

A medical form must be filled out prior to the acceptance of any fees or placement of child on the camp roster.  Please have doctors / dentists names and phone numbers handy. Although it is not mandatory, we would appreciate it if you had the medical form notarized. Notary Service is available at the Community Center and City Hall, free of charge.  You may pick up registration and medical forms in advance, so that you can have them filled out prior to registration.  (A doctor’s signature is not required.)

There is a limit to the number of registrants due to space limitations and safety factors.  Your child must be 5 years of age and no older than 12 years old by the first day of camp.  A birth certificate or copy of it is necessary if he or she is entering kindergarten.

 On the day of registration, full payment for the first session your child attends is due.  Following sessions must be reserved with a NONREFUNDABLE $25.00 deposit per session.  Bus service to and from camp will be available for each session.  Full payment for bus service for all sessions will be due when you register, and is NONREFUNDABLE.

Adventure Camp has limited space due to the extensive amount of field trips, therefore, registration is taken on a first come, first serve basis.[top]
