RESTON ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES GUIDE

Dear Reston Community!

I am delighted to share with you this edition of the Reston Association Activities Guide for connection, exploration, as you Live, Work, Play, and Get Involved in Reston.

As the warmer months approach, our aquatics, tennis, pickleball, camps, nature, and community events teams are gearing up for an exciting season. You will find expanded water safety offerings, new fitness and recreation programs, year round nature workshops, summer camps that foster confidence and friendship, volunteer opportunities that strengthen our shared environment, and events that bring neighbors together.

New for 2026:

Improved Recreation Pass Renewal This year, we introduced a simplified Recreation Pass auto-renewal option when paying your annual assessment, and we hope this added efficiency has been helpful. By simply checking the renewal box during the assessment payment process, members were able to reactivate passes quickly and easily eliminating extra steps for access to Reston’s pools, tennis and pickleball courts. Our goal is to make your experience smoother, and we are grateful for the positive feedback many of you have already shared.

Mini Day Camp Option Due to continued high demand and long waitlists for our most popular youth programs, we are pleased to introduce a new Mini Day Camp for our youngest campers. This camp blends creative play, nature exploration, stories, crafts, and outdoor discovery in a nurturing environment designed especially for ages 4–5.

Water Aerobics Boot Camp Program We are also excited to introduce our Water Aerobics Boot Camp, a full-body, low-impact, high-energy workout that blends strength and cardio in the water. Designed for all fitness levels.

Morning Munchkins Tennis Based on community feedback and growing demand for preschool-age programming, we have added Morning Munchkins Tennis to our lineup. With an emphasis on fun, movement, and foundational skills, this expanded schedule helps ensure more children can enjoy their first steps onto the court.

Featured Nature Spring Programs We are proud to offer a rich variety of nature and community programs this spring which reflect our ongoing commitment to learning, exploration, and environmental stewardship across Reston: • Pysanky Egg Art Workshop – April 12 – Explore the traditional Ukrainian art form.

• Campfire: Moths by Moonlight – April 24 – Enjoy s’mores and nightflying insects.

• City Nature Challenge – April 25 – Join people worldwide in documenting local biodiversity using iNaturalist.

• Nature Journaling – May 14 – A creative and reflective workshop that blends sketching, watercolor, and quiet observation.

• Wool Felting Workshop – May 17 – A hands-on, eco-friendly crafting experience.

• Stream Monitoring with USGS – Learn directly from United States Geological Survey USGS scientists about the health and ecology of our local streams.

Reston’s unique design and values remain central to everything we do. Whether you are returning to a favorite activity or discovering something new, we hope this guide inspires you to enjoy the many amenities our community has to offer and a calendar full of ways to stay active and connected.

Thank you for your continued engagement, I look forward to seeing you around our pools, on our courts and trails, and throughout the community in the months ahead.

EXPERIENCE TENNIS & PICKLEBALL All Reston Association Junior programs follow the USTA standards for player development by using a low-compression ball progression that scales court size, racquet size, and type of ball to the age and size of the player. The ROGY (Red, Orange, Green, Yellow).

RED

Red ball is named after the red foam/felt balls that are used for players that are 3-7 years old. Red balls bounce lower and move more slowly through the air, giving beginning players a chance to set up and take a good swing. Courts at this level are 36 feet long and 18 feet wide.

ORANGE

Once comfortable at the red level, players move to the Orange ball. Typically for ages 8-10. Orange balls bounce higher and move faster than the Red balls but lower and slower than the green balls. They are a step toward the traditional Yellow tennis ball while remaining fun and manageable for players learning the game.

Courts at this level are 60 feet by 21 feet.

18

GREEN

After Orange, the next level is the green dot. Typically for ages 10-12, the Green ball is very similar to the traditional yellow tennis ball but with a slightly lower compression, so it rebounds lower off the court after a bounce. The Green court is the same dimension as the traditional Yellow court: 78 feet by 27 feet.

YELLOW

The Yellow level is what most people know as traditional tennis. Typically ages 12-adults. The balls, courts and racquets at this level are used in high school, college, adult, and professional levels. The court size is 78 feet by 27 feet.

RESTON CAMPS What is your cancellation/ refund policy?

Cancellations requested MORE THAN 14 days before the start of a camp session = a 50% refund (minus deposit).

Cancellations requested LESS THAN 14 days before the start of a camp session = no refund.

No refunds for missed days within a camp session(s). No refunds for campers sent home early due to illness, injury and/ or behavior issues. If you were enrolled in camp, did not cancel the enrollment, and did not participate in the program, no

refund will be provided. You will not be eligible to enroll in future RA programming until the balance is paid in full. Campers who cancel or leave camp on the advice of medical personnel will receive a prorated refund with a physician’s note. See the 2026 Parent Handbook for complete details.

When are camp payments due?

Payment is due in full ONE WEEK prior to the start of the camp session. Failure to pay the balance in full by the due date may result in your child being removed from camp.

After I register my child, how will I receive camp information and notifications?

You MUST make sure that your email and phone number in both RecTrac AND CampDoc are up to date. We will automatically contact the PRIMARY CONTACT, so make adjustments to your account if necessary.

Can I switch to a different camp?

Absolutely, as long as there is space available, and your child is within the camp’s age group.

All requests must be in writing to the Camp Registrar at camp@ reston.org.

What is special about Reston Camps?

We have been in operation for over 50 years! We hire camp staff with a passion for working, playing, and teaching children. Many of our staff are local teachers. All staff are CPR/ AED/first aid certified, have passed criminal background checks, a Central Registry Check, fingerprinting, and have had pre-camp training in child abuse, positive behavior management, camp safety, and ongoing training in camp programming.

Does my child need a camp shirt?

Campers attending Mini Day Camp, Junior Day Camp, Day Camp, Sportsters, Adventure Camp and CITs must wear a Reston Camps camp shirt. Past Reston Camps shirts may be worn. Shirts may be purchased in the Member Services office and we highly suggest purchasing multiple shirts so that you don’t have to wash shirts each night.

Do you offer Extended Care?

YES! For an additional fee, we offer afternoon extended care at Browns Chapel for all camps (except ½ day Nature Tots) from 4-5:30 p.m. each day.

I am on vacation for 1 of the 2 weeks of a camp session.

Can I get credit for the missed week?

No, we do not prorate for missed days. You must pay for both weeks, but it is ok to only attend one.

What if the camp I want to sign up for has a waitlist?

If a camp session is sold out, you should add your child’s name to the waiting list online on the WebTrac website.

How will I know if space opens on the waitlist?

You will be contacted via email if a space becomes available and your child is next on the waitlist. You may be contacted at any time, right up until the week before the camp starts.

You will be given 24 hours to respond before the next person on the waitlist is contacted. If you accept the available spot, you will be expected to pay the deposit (or full payment) within 24 hours, or your registration will be withdrawn.

Do you allow visitors or volunteers at camp?

For the safety and security of our campers and staff, all visitors must be pre-approved by the Camp Director or Recreation Manager.

What if my child has a disability?

Reston Camps welcomes campers with disabilities. To best accommodate your child, please contact Katherine Caffrey, Recreation Manager, at kcaffrey@reston.org so we can schedule a time to meet and discuss your child’s needs.

Will my child go swimming during camp?

All camps go swimming at Reston Association pools during the camp day (except ½ day Nature Tots and Incrediflix). All campers are given a swim test

by RA Lifeguards on the first day they visit the pool, every session. Further details will be provided to parents via email prior to the start of camp.

Is camp held during inclement weather?

YES! All camp locations have inclement weather policies and Emergency Action Plans. Indoor locations are available for those camps based outdoors. Please remember, drop-off and pickup locations will always be at the base camp location. On code red days, we increase time in the shade, offer additional water breaks, pool time, and indoor programming. We do not prorate days not attended due to weather.

If my child attends the same camp for multiple weeks, will they be doing the same thing each time?

NO! Junior Day Camp and Day Camp have different camp themes and activities each session. Adventure Camp has new and different adventures each week. Occasionally, campers may visit our more popular activities more than once over the summer, but the weekly schedule will not be the same. Our other camps offer different programming and activities each week. Your camper will meet new friends each session — they will have a great time!

Can my child be in a camp group with all of their friends?

There is a question in CampDoc asking parents if there is ONE friend their child would like to be placed in a group with.

BOTH parents (the one asking, as well as the one they are requesting to be placed with) MUST fill out this question or the CampDoc program will NOT match them up. We do our best to accommodate special placement requests but due to the many demographics in a camp (age being the most important one) we can not guarantee requests.

I have questions or need more information about camp, who do I contact?

The Parent Handbook contains the answers to a majority of questions parents ask. If you are unable to find a specific answer, please reach out to the Camp Registrar at camp@reston.org or 703-435-6551
