Summer Camp Health and Safety Information 

The Recreation and Parks Department is committed to offering safe, high-quality, and enjoyable in-person camp programming this summer. The health and safety of all camp participants, staff, and their families remains our paramount goal. 

Our programs will continue to follow the guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

Summer Fun Camp

The Summer Fun Playground camp for rising 1st-6th graders operates for eight weeks from June 21 through August 12. Campers will enjoy a fun-filled summer including sports, arts and crafts, games, special events, and a weekly field trip or entertainment visit to the camp. Time is also available for unstructured play. Each week's activities are theme-based. The camp runs Monday through Friday, 9am-3pm and is located at Cherry Hill Park. Field trip registration opens in May.

A Summer Fun Parent Orientation will be held at 7pm on Tuesday, June 14 at the Cherry Hill Park pavilion. The orientation will provide an overview of important information regarding Summer Fun, including camp structure, schedule, policies, and procedures. It will also provide families an opportunity to meet the camp staff. 

The 2022 Summer Fun Parent Manual is an excellent resource for camp information and details, including weekly themes, a listing of field trips/visits, and other important information. The manual will be available in May.
