Take note:
- Registration begins in February.

- Waiting lists will be taken for those sessions that fill. To be placed on a wait list requires $25. If you do not get in, the $25 will be refunded.
- Camp meets Monday through Friday, 9 am-3 pm at Camelot, Frontier, and Heritage Parks. Also, there is a three day a week camp that meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Pioneer Park. Extended hours are available for all camps from 7-9 am and 3-6 pm. A minimum of 10 campers per site is needed to run extended care. An additional fee will be charged.
- Session 5 will be held at Pioneer Park only and will meet Monday-Friday.

Camp Includes
- Arts and crafts, outdoor sports and games, dramatics, songs, nature lore, daily swim (except on field trip days) special events, plus a field trip and guest speaker every two weeks.
- Lunch is provided on Fridays. Parents need to provide a lunch for their child all other days. A drink will be available for lunch each day.
- Activities vary each session so campers can sign up for more than one session without repetition. Separate activities have been planned for both age groups. More emphasis is placed on sports in Arlington Adventure.
Staff
We use 1-10 ratio of counselors to campers. Our counselors are primarily college students with many years of day camp experience.
Swim Lessons
Take swim lessons during day camp. These lessons will be available to any Sunny Meadows or Arlington Adventure camper. You must sign up for swim lessons each session that you are interested in participating. Swim lessons are not available at Pioneer Park, due to the fact that camp only meets three days a week and field trips are held on Wednesdays. Lessons at Camelot, Frontier and Heritage Park will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for 40 minutes and taught by the Aquatic Department Staff. Lessons will not be held Session V at Camelot Park.
Refund Policy
Refunds are given for a variety of reasons. View the Refund Policy. These are pro-rated based on the date the request is received. No refunds will be given after the session ends. Refunds are not given for vacation or individual days missed.
