Summer Camp
The Summer Camp is now in it's 24th year at Camp Ridgeview. Once again we have fun filled & adventurous Summer activities planned for the children. We are a home-from-home. The children bring their own lunch and we provide two nutritious snacks a day.
The program is most suitable for children 4 years (Kindergarten age) to 8 years old.
Please read pages 1 & 6 carefully then print, complete and return pages 2 - 5
The Summer Program will be “Backyard Adventures” which will consist of picnics everywhere, visits to the beach, bike riding, walks to local parks, tent play, playground activities, cooking, clay work, art and crafts. We plan to have lots of water play, with sponge & water balloon games, sprinkler and waterslide fun! Freezies and Ice Creams rule too! All this is rolled into 9 fun-filled theme weeks!
