NOTES FROM THE COORDINATOR Welcome to week three of Voyager Camp! We have so many fun things planned for our Under the Sea Week and we cannot wait to spend the week with you. On Monday, we will be at Dryden Park, play games and doing some fun underwater art projects. On Tuesday, we are headed to Wheeler Park to mini golf and continue the fun! On Wednesday we will go on one of Voyager Camp’s favorite field trips to Blackberry Farm, don’t forget to wear your blue camp shirt. Thursday is our weekly water day at Moore Park Splash Pad, please bring or wear your swimsuit (we will have time to change), a towel, sunscreen and a water bottle. On Friday, we will spend the day at Dryden Park, playing more games and doing more ocean themed crafts! A couple of important reminders, please do not bring toys from home. We don’t want them to get broken or lost and are often more of a distraction. Also please label EVERYTHING. As the summer goes on, our lost and found continues to grow as well. Be sure to check it out. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

GENERAL CAMP REMINDERS

All participants should treat each other, staff

and equipment with respect. To ensure everyone’s safety, participants need

to wear athletic shoes everyday to fully participate. Please make sure your child is dressing appropriately for the weather. We will enjoy the outdoors as much as possible! Label your children’s belongings. Be sure to

check our lost and found daily! You must sign your child in and out each day.

This is very important. Also please understand for the safety of your child we will ID anyone picking up your child that we do not recognize. Thank you for your cooperation and

understanding. Electronic devices and toys should stay home.

The Park District will not be responsible for them.
