Recreation, Exploration, and Collaboration (REC) Camp encourages campers to engage in a variety of recreational activities, where they explore new sports, collaborate in team challenges, and participate in fun and friendly competitions, all while making new friends in an active environment.
Bring a lunch that does not need to be cooked or refrigerated. Campers should wear tennis shoes only. We will likely include two trips to the Crystal Lake Park Family Aquatic Center and one off-site.
REC Camp with Aftercare extends the day and includes various supervised recreational activities. Play games, go swimming, and more. Participants must register for either REC Camp OR REC Camp with Aftercare.
