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.

ART IN THE LAND BEFORE TIME

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

ate prehistoric creatures and lands. Use many different art media

to make dinosaurs, fossils, volcanoes and oceans to create your

very own prehistoric worlds. How do you think a caveman would

act? What would he sing? What type of instruments would he play?

We will create their life through visual and performing arts.

animals perform their very own ZooZical, with acts, music and

which animals to enact and what they will do for performance.
