Dear Campers and Parents, 

We are thrilled to have each of you join us for what promises to be an exciting and unforgettable summer adventure. Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where lifelong memories are made. 

Throughout the summer, our dedicated staff will guide campers through a variety of enriching activities designed to promote personal growth, foster friendships, and encourage exploration of the natural world. From traditional arts & crafts, science, and outdoor sports and team-building challenges, there is something for everyone at YAC. 

As the first day of camp is right around the corner here are some important reminders:

The First day of camp is Monday July 7th, and the last day is August 15th. The last day of camp is a half day, pick up will be at 12:45. Drop off every day is 9:30am and pick up is at 3:00pm. If you are interested in utilizing our extended day program in the morning or afternoon please feel free to stop into the office on the first day to discuss with our Directors.  Morning extended day is from 7:30 am to 9:30 am and evening is until 5:00 pm.  Pricing is $5.00 an hour per child.

Campers can bring lunch or purchase lunch at an additional fee at the Snack Shack.  Parents can also pre-pay on a daily basis for their camper’s lunch by speaking with a member of the snack shack staff at the park office at drop off.

As you enter the parking lot to leave off your camper on the first morning please look for any staff member in a purple shirt should you need any help or direction. Parents must bring their child to their areas to check in with the counselors.  Parents must check their child out with their counselor at the end of the day.  Please do not wave to your child from the parking lot to meet you at the car.

On the first day your camper will receive their YAC shirts, along with the camp calendar and field trip forms and a snack shack menu. Please return permission slips into the park office by the due date stated on the slip, otherwise your child can not attend.  Do not give permission slips to counselors they must be turned in to the office and exact change is always preferred. There will be counselors staying back at camp if your child chooses not to go on the field trip.  Campers must wear their orange YAC shirts on trip days.  If you should misplace your shirt we will have some available for purchase.  Trips are no refundable unless they are canceled due to weather.

Look to the main page of our website smithsclovepark.org for any additional information and reminders about field trips or camp closures due to weather.  Should we need to close camp due to weather it will be announced on the website by 8:30 am.  If we need to close camp while camp is in session, campers should be picked up ASAP and extended day will be canceled that day.

We look forward to having a wonderful summer!
