27th Annual Paper Boat Race
Each year, staff representatives from each Recreation Summer Camp (Tenderfoot, Little Walnut,
Walnut Creek Day Camp, Walnut Creek Sports Camp, Arts, Adventures & Academics, Specialized
Recreation Camp and the pool lifeguards) compete in a cardboard boat race across the lap pool.
Themed boats are made of masking tape, cardboard, and white glue. Each boat is large enough to
carry a camp leader across the pool and back. Awards are given both to the race winner and to the
camp with the most creative theme. Campers from afternoon camps attend the race during camp
hours. Morning-only campers are encouraged to attend the event with their parents or guardians
to participate in the boat parade and support their counselors in the cheering section.

Tenderfoot or Little Walnut—which program is right for your camper?
Crafts and games, socialization, and tons of fun can be found in
both programs, but there are some differences. Tenderfoot campers
are a little younger than our Little Walnuts. If your child has not yet
started preschool, Tenderfoot is a great start. Children who have
had more school or play group experiences will find Little Walnut
camp a perfect fit. Whichever camp you choose, our program lead-
ers will make sure that your child has a wonderful summer!

Specialized Recreation Summer Camp
This summer camp is carefully designed for children, teens and
young adults who have special needs. Our professionally trained
staff create a loving and nurturing environment for your child.
Emphasis is placed on social interaction, recreational and
educational activities, community involvement and weekly
excursions.
Campers experience a fun-filled day camp with crafts, games,
nature study, music, sports, drama and swimming. Activities for
teens and young adults help to develop independent living skills
such as shopping, cooking, social skills and environmental
education.
SERVICES OF A PERSONAL NATURE: The Camp does not provide
assistance in eating and toileting and although our staff/volunteer
to camper ratio is very high (3:1) this does not mean that we are
able to provide 1-to-1 care for your child during the camp.
REGISTER SEPARATELY FOR TRIPS: Trips include Overnight
Campout, Cardboard Boat Races, and the Oakland Zoo.
Registration cost includes $25 lab fee.

Summer Art Camps
Put on your art clothes and join us for one or more of our very
special creative arts adventures. These theme based arts ses-
sions are designed for children ages 5-10. All activities will be
age-appropriate, emphasizing both individual and collaborative
creativity. From creating your own prehistoric world to singing and
acting like a caveman. All this in one day! Visual art, theatre and
music programs will integrate activities around a common theme.
Children should bring both snacks and a lunch plus drink each day.
Comfortable clothes to paint and move in work best.

If you’re wild about dinosaurs, this class is for you! Study and cre-

act? What would he sing? What type of instruments would he play?
We will create their life through visual and performing arts.
