Starting June 11 registrations will be open to anyone. The capacity is 190 for both camps. Applebee says there was a 55 per cent increase in the first to ninth grade camp last summer over the previous summer. He thinks the main reason for this is the addition of Before and After Care. This is really a good dollar value, Applebee said, since it helps out parents who either have to leave for work before camp starts or cant pick them up until after the day ends.
Campers bring their own lunch each day.
This is a great stepping stone for kids who want to get into that kind of a program, Applebee said. It gives them some wonderful job skills, so they can be ready to work in a camp next summer. Plus, the high school kids who help out make wonderful role models for our younger children, he added. A European soccer camp is also planned.
