Teen Discovery
Teen Discovery Early Bird
Themed activities include arts & crafts, music, drama, games and nature. Great staff and a low staff-participant ratio will further enhance a positive environment. Registration fee includes daily activities, t-shirt and weekly swim-nsplash day. Children must be potty-trained. Parents will be asked to provide a snack for one day of each session enrolled. Children must be 3 years old by May 1, 2017. Parent Meeting: Wednesday, June 21, 6:30pm at the Herndon Community Center. This meeting is for adults only.
This camp allows teenagers to spend two full weeks with friends while traveling to their favorite summer destinations, which change each session. Each day promises a new adventure through field trips, games and activities. Bring a lunch, water bottle, bathing suit and towel daily. Cost includes supervision, van transportation and admissions. Starting and ending times will vary depending on the trip. Teen Discovery requires independence and good judgement from the participants. Responsibility is an important element of the program, as teens are frequently permitted to experience activities in small groups on their own, checking in at designated times and locations. Please attend the Parent Meeting on Tuesday, June 20, 7:00pm at the Herndon Community Center. This meeting is for adults only.
Need to get to Teen Discovery earlier? Camp is open with supervision for registered campers only.
Age 3-5
Herndon Odyssey
Field trips now included
Age 6-11
Your child will make memories that last a lifetime! Every day at camp brings a new adventure through a variety of programs such as sports & games, music, crafts, swimming, visiting the Farmers’ Market and other teambuilding activities. This camp spends a majority of the day outside. Herndon Odyssey provides continuous opportunities for campers to learn in a safe environment, develop new friendships and have FUN! Bring a healthy lunch, water and snack every day (no peanut products). New this year: the cost of all summer field trips has been included in the summer camp fee. Parents will no longer have to register individually for field trips. All campers registered will participate in the field trips; there will be no staff remaining behind at HCC. Forms will be available online and at HCC before registration starts. Parent Meeting: Tuesday, June 20, 7:00pm at the Herndon Community Center. This meeting is for adults only. SPECIAL FEATURE Take advantage of Odyssey as your child’s base camp and take a lesson or specialty camp during the day at the HCC. Our staff will escort your child to and from the lesson. Save yourself extra driving and coordinating schedules and let your child try something new. You MUST notify camp staff in advance of dual-enrollment.
