After Care

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE!

Pair up an AM & PM Camp of your Choice, and We’ll Take Care of the Rest!

Bridge Care is a way for you to customize a camp experience that fits your schedule and your child’s interests. Bridge Care gives the opportunity for parents to add an additional lunch hour to their half day camp OR piece together an AM and PM camp of their choice. Children will be walked from their morning camp options to the Red Morton Community Center where they will eat lunch in an enclosed room and play yard from 12-1pm. Children will then be walked to their afternoon camp option by our staff. Bridge care is designed to offer you flexibility, convenience and provide your child with a variety of opportunities to move, grow, learn and explore specific interests.

ONLY CAMPS WITH THE DESIGNATED ICON NEXT TO THEM WILL QUALIFY FOR CARE. LOCATION: RMCC

Camps with a clock icon next to them qualify for After Care. Our trustworthy staff will pick up campers from their PM camp and walk them to the Red Morton Community Center. Parents please pick up your campers by 6:00pm. Please note, some of our camp providers provide their own after care. Those camps will have the post care listed with the camp description. ONLY CAMPS WITH THE DESIGNATED ICON NEXT TO THEM WILL QUALIFY FOR CARE. Applicable camps are located on the Red Morton Park Campus only (RMCC, CAB, VMSC, Fields and the Skatepark).

Half Day & Full Day HIGH-5 CAMP

Ages 4-6 with Recreation Staff Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean the learning has to stop.

Bring your curiosity and check out Camp High-5. We will explore fun activities to enrich your learning.

High-5 is moving to a new location on site at Red Morton Community Center, with its very own fenced in playground and in room bathrooms. *2 afternoon sessions of High-5 will be Spanish Immersion. Your child will experience all the recreation fun of High-5 while being immersed in the Spanish language. These weeks are geared towards both native Spanish speakers and Spanish language learners. No prior Spanish speaking is required.

Full Day Campers, or those who are staying for lunch need to bring lunch daily. Half day campers may also sign up for Bridge Care if they would like to have lunch and stay for an extra hour.
