Villages h Little Village (Blue) K - 2nd Grade

Senior Village (Orange) 5th - 7th Grade

At the Riegel Ridge Community Center we pride ourselves on instilling community values.

Campers will be broken down into villages based on their age. Each village will be

represented by a specific color and title. Campers will learn how to interact with their fellow

villagers as well as how to be a part of a larger community.

E x t e n d e d H o u r s h

We have added mornings to our extended

camp hours. Our doors will open early for

those that need to be dropped off prior to

8:30am. Before camp care will take place from

8:00am to 8:30am. We will continue to provide

after camp care from 4:00pm to 6:00pm.

Extra fees will apply for both options.

CAMP COMMUNITY

All campers will have three activity periods each morning. These consist of a visit to arts and crafts,

playing a variety of outdoor sports and games, and recreational swimming. The morning session will

conclude with picnic style lunch; half-day campers will be dismissed at 1pm. The afternoon continues

in a similar fashion for full day campers who will be allowed free choice between outdoor sports and

games, arts and crafts, as well as more recreational swimming. Pick up is scheduled for 4pm.

S p e c i a l E v e n t s

During each of our three sessions, special

events will take place during Fun Fridays.

Guest performances will include a stunt-man,

magician, and a bubble show. A DJ will come

spin some tunes, and the zoo will come to us

when we meet four-legged visitors from Eyes

of the Wild. During the hot summer there will

be two special water events: a blow up water

slide to turn our camp into a mini water park,

as well as a visit from the Holland Twp. Fire

Department for a fire hose cool down!

Campers will be taught different dance styles and movements. Students will be able to apply these skills to a dance performance for their peers. Participants must bring clean sneakers and socks.

F u t u r e C h e f s

Campers will learn techniques for simple step recipes that are child friendly and delicious! Chefs will make no cook, no bake, snacks, meals, and desserts. Participants must bring a sense of adventure and their appetite!

F i n e A r t s

Broaden your artistic horizon and leave a lasting mark. After experimenting with different painting techniques, artists will participate in painting a wall mural in the lower area of the community center. Participants must bring clothes suitable for painting.

S o c c e r S t a r s

Be a part of the team! Drills, fun games, and scrimmages will help participants develop teamwork. Focus will be placed on building speed, strength, agility, and improving ball work. All participants must bring cleats and shin guards.

B a n a n a s F o r B a s k e t b a l l

Campers will focus on shooting and dribbling, as well as defense and rebounding skills. These skills will be achieved through drills, warm-up games, and scrimmages. All participants must bring clean sneakers and socks.

T h e a t e r C a m p

Join the cast and take the stage to get your creative juices flowing! Try your hand at drama games, costume/set design, musical numbers, and character building. These skills will be perfected during rehearsals for a live performance to be presented at the session’s closing.

Specialty Lessons These lessons are held during the regular camp, but offer your child the

opportunity to have an in-depth exploration of Swimming or Cheernastics. These lessons will

be offered during each session for every age group. Cheernastics is only open to Full Day

campers. Class spaces are limited and extra fees will apply.

S w i m m i n g L e s s o n s

Lessons will be taught at the Riegel Ridge Community Pool. Your children will learn from the same lifeguards who watch over them during recreational swim! These lessons will be fun and non-pressure while students are surrounded by fellow campers. Classes will be divided by age as well as ability. All swim teachers are certified in the Red Cross Water Safety Instructor program. The WSI program teaches lessons for all swim levels. Students will learn appropriate safety and stroke skills that pertain to their specific level. We feel that level numbers are not an indication of a child’s success in swimming. These numbers cater to a child’s needs by placing focus on the appropriate skill set for their age and ability. The benefits of swim lessons for children are endless; but most importantly they provide your child the knowledge of how to handle a water emergency. Each session includes nine classes which are 30 minutes in length. Classes will be held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week.

Price: $75

C h e e r n a s t i c s

RRCC’s very own cheerleading gymnastics program will now be offered during summer recreation! These classes will teach children how to safely and correctly perform beginner to advanced cheerleading gymnastics while simultaneously building strength and flexibility. Our program strives to provide those who are interested or already involved in cheerleading the confidence to perform these gymnastics. Potential skills children will learn (contingent upon specific grade level): forward and backward rolls, bridges, cartwheels, round -offs, handstands, bridge kick-overs, back-walk overs, multiple handstands, and back handsprings. Class will also include cheerleading motions and stunts. At the end of each session children will have the opportunity to perform a routine for their peers to showcase their hard work! Lessons will take place twice a week for an hour. Children must have a set of clean sneakers (separate from the ones worn to camp). Attire for this class is comfortable clothing: t -shirts, secured tanks-tops, gym shorts, etc. We require students to have their hair pulled back and all glasses secured by a holding strap. Children are not permitted to wear jewelry during this class. Classes will take place inside the air conditioned gymnasium.

program, children will be exposed to story-time, crafts, large motor games both outdoors, and in, as well as time

to cool off in the baby pool. Time will also be given for them to enjoy their snack and lunch. This group has the

weekly camp activities, and special field trips. All children must be completely toilet trained.
