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 2012. 2012 Registration BeginsResidents: March 12 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!

Please climb aboard our Camp Wauconda spaceship for an exciting summer adventure. -Session I: June 4 – June 15
Week 1- June 4-8: Buggin’ out in a Bug’s Life Planet School’s out and it’s time to “bug out” on a planet full of bugs. There’s a buzz about this planet that things are creeping, crawling and hopping with such activities as a cootie race, and bug bingo as you spend a week building a web of camp friends. Week 2-June 11-15: Tropical Paradise Planet The planet Tropical Paradise is a great place to start this week’s camp adventure. This planet has a great beach to sit under the palm trees in the cool breeze sipping refreshing fruit smoothies with leis hanging from our shoulders. The beach will also be a great place for a game of aloha volley beach ball. -Session II: June 18 – June 29 Week 1-June 18-22: Treasure Hunters Planet Indiana Jones had once visited this planet and found that it was worth the trip since it is full of treasures. You’ll find that it is good for scavenging, geocaching, and treasure chests. Clues to solve a mystery of who stole the jewels and many other hunt games will add to the fun. Week 2-June 25-29: A Year’s Worth of Holidays Planet Shamrocks, hearts, colored eggs, jack-o-lanterns, groundhogs and turkeys adorn the landscape of Celebration Planet. Where we can celebrate all the holidays during our week’s visit. Birthdays qualify as a holiday so it will be everyone’s birthday with streamers, balloons, cupcakes, and a piñata. -Session III: July 2 – July 13 (No camp July 4) Week 1- July 2-6: Stars and Stripes Planet Men in astronaut suits stuck the pole of the United States Flag on the surface of what appeared to resemble a planet. We will stop by even if it isn’t a planet and we’ll make our own U.S. Flag with red, white and blue handprints, create a patri-botic robot, and play flag tag relay. Maybe we can bring back some moon dust? Week 2- July 9-13: All Ball Planet This perfectly round planet offers fun such as juggling, volleyball, golf, bocce ball, jacks ball, popcorn balls, and maybe even “ball” room dancing. Pick a sport to play and then reach into a bag to pick out a token that shows the ball you use to play that sport. Play baseball using a kickball. Thank goodness we didn’t pick the bowling ball token. -Session IV: July 16 – July 27 Week 1-July 16-20: Rock star/Music Makers Planet This is the noisiest planet in the whole galaxy and that is why we want to spend the week there. There will be plenty of instruments to make a band and a music video but the campers will need to become the rock stars. We will create our own version of Stomp using trash can lids, sticks, and other things. We will end our week with a “dress your counselor up like a rock star” day. Week 2-July 23-27: Game show Mania Planet Nickelodeon’s Double Dare, Are you Smarter Than a Fifth Grader, Family Feud, Let’s Make a Deal, Jeopardy. Are you game? Become a contestant and join us on this planet. Not only will we be participating in these games but we will also make our own Me-opoly game board and game pieces. -Session V: July 30 – August 10 Week 1-July 30-August 3: Under the Sea Planet Put on your goggles and snorkel when we land on this planet. Anyone up for a game of Sharks and Minnows? Bring your underwater camera because we will see the Little Mermaid and Nemo. We will make colorful sea creatures, a magnifying water scope and a carp windsock. Week 2-August 6-10: Under the Big Top Planet This planet has a large tent covering all the activity that will be going on this last week of camp as we play acrobat knockdown, elephant stomp, and beanbag throw. There will be animals made out of balloons, face painting, funny photos, pie in the face game and a stuffed animal petting zoo. We will be leaving this planet a day early so that we can return to Bangs Lake for our all camp Beach Bash. |
