Camp WaucondaSummer fun is almost here and so is Camp Wauconda! We have a fun-filled summer for your children planned. Camp Wauconda offers a full-time and part-time format with activities like arts & crafts, swimming, games, parties, age appropriate field trips once a week, theme days, entertainers, and much more. Camp Wauconda is for children entering grades 1-8 in Fall 2013. 2013 Registration BeginsResidents: March 11 Camp Format
Camp Wauconda is an active day camp that is planned by our Camp Director, Camp Counselors, Recreation Staff, and campers themselves. Our staff to camper ratio is 1:10 for 1st-4th grade and 1:15 for 5th-8th grade. Kids are grouped by grade so they are interacting with kids their own age most of the time. Each session is two weeks long and a schedule of activities is distributed to each group. Each session, a new theme is incorporated into the activities, projects, and games that have been planned. There are also two trips scheduled per session and one special event, which are tied into the theme. Registration InformationA $20 non-refundable registration fee is required at the time of registration along with an additional $20 non-refundable deposit for each session your child will attend. Dates may change due to Wauconda School District #118 schedule. Early Bird/ Stay & PlayIf your child is enrolled in Camp Wauconda, then they can have even more fun by participating in this program. It’s perfect for working parents or die-hard campers!

Session II – June 17 – June 28 Week 1-June 17-21: Marvel versus DC Help! A super villain of the worst kind has invaded Camp Wauconda! Every camper has a super power and throughout the week, we’ll see who is more powerful. Could it be Superman, Batman, Cat Womon, the Hulk, Iron Man, or Thor? DC and Marvel are looking for a new superhero creation. Are you ready to design the next Avenger? Week 2-June 24-28: Star Wars Counselors have dusted off their blaster and light saber for some pretty intense intergalactic combat so it’s time for the campers to prepare to face challenging Jedi trials to become Jedi Knights. You might run into some unusual looking alien life forms while having some refreshments at the lunch counter. Session III – July 1 – July 12 (No Camp on July 4) Week 1- July 1-5: Growing and Loving Through Messy Play Every kind of messy creation or concoction will be explored all week. Some of the fun will include clean mud, ice cream dough, erupting magic mud, Kool-Aid dough, and erupting snow. There will be glitter, paint, glue, and dirty hands. Make sure you don’t wear your party clothes this week because we’re going to get messy! Week 2- July 8-12: Everyday-All Day Games In this week we will be guiding you through games and activities with balloons, activity balls of all sizes, relays, blindfolds, hula hoops, Frisbee, and sometimes such things as whipping cream, crackers, and Skittles. Let’s see if we can complete the 100 games countdown throughout this week. Session IV – July 15 – July 26 Week 1-July 15-19: Forever Artist There is an artist in each and every one of you.

Week 2-July 22-28: Video Games Who doesn’t like video games! It’s video mania all week where we will be designing our own Mario Kart, creating a life size game of Angry Birds, and turning into Pac- Man chomping our way through the maze to reach the final destination. Session V – July 29 – August 9 Week 1-July 29-August 2: Where Everyday is a New Day of Fun Everyday will be a new theme, such as a gold rush one day, a circus the following day, or maybe Pirates.
