2008 PROGRAM CHANGES
We are changing our camps in a few ways this year. First, we have
changed our summer camp to one week sessions rather than two week
sessions! Second, we have started a Young Children*s Theater Arts
camp for children 5 - 7 years old. Third, we now have all registration
forms available on our website and will have that be the primary way for
families to obtain forms. You will need to print out the forms,
complete them, and bring them all in at registration time. If you do
not have a way to print the forms, feel free to call us and we will mail
them to you.

Care Center) may bring in their registration paperwork at any time. We strongly suggest that you turn in forms before open registration to ensure availability in all weeks that you need. - Open registration for all UMHS families begins on Tuesday, April

SUMMER CAMP
The UMHS Child Care Center Summer Camp program is for children approximately 5 - 11 years old. Camp will once again be held at UMHS Child Care Center, 2601 Glazier Way. This year, camp will run from June 16 through August 29, 2008, now in one week sessions!
The camp enrollment is full day, full time for each week. Time spent at the Child Care Center will incorporate discovery activities, reading, crafts, and games. Groups will venture out on field trips each morning, and most afternoons will be spent poolside.
Note: Week 11 of camp is limited to 30 campers - sign up asap

Campers will need to bring non-perishable lunches each day. Each Wednesday, groups will have a pizza lunch, supplied by the Child Care Center. Our Summer Camp is a nut and egg aware camp - please DO NOT pack these items in your child's lunch. A list of lunch and snack ideas is available below.
If your child has severe food allergies, they MUST have an Allergy Action Plan completed and signed by a physician. This form is available on our Center website. Please turn this form in by May 31 so that all counselors can be notified of the allergies. They must also bring an Epi-pen with them on their first day of camp.
If your camper has an IEP during the school year that includes summertime goals, the counselors are happy to support these goals at camp. Feel free to meet with the Center Social Worker (who is also a camp counselor) to discuss these goals.
THEATER ARTS CAMP
Our Theater Arts Camp program will run from June 16 - July 11, ending with a large production of "The Wizard of Oz" on July 10 and 11. Operating hours will be 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Our traditional four week Theater Arts Camp is for children ages 8 - 14. There is a limit of 20 campers for the 4 week camp. This year, we are also enrolling for younger children, ages 5 - 7, for the last two weeks of camp. This young camp group will be limited to 12 campers. Both camp groups will learn about acting, memorizing scripts, singing songs individually and in groups, creating dances and designing scenery for their show. The campers will also go on weekly field trips associated with creating a theater production and will go to Fuller Pool two afternoons each week.
