Summer Blast Camp FAQ’s 1. How do I find more information for camp? For additional details on Summer Blast go to summerblast.henricorecandparks.com.

What should my child bring to camp? Campers should bring their lunch, a snack, beverage, and a refillable water bottle daily. Campers will have reading time, so they can bring their own book, if they’d like. 3. What should my child wear to camp? Campers should wear comfortable play clothes that can get messy and closed-toe athletic shoes (tennis shoes, sneakers, etc). 4. What will my child do at camp? Have lots of fun! The staff at each site plans the activities for the whole summer. A calendar will be posted at the site on the first day of camp. 5. How does the waitlist work? Should a spot become available, you will receive an email or call at the address or number provided offering you the opportunity to register for that space.
