Week in the Park Summer Camp

Hello! Today I am going to camp at Wheaton Sports Pavilion!

I have packed my bag with everything I need. I have:

When I get to camp, I come in the front doors of the sports pavilion.

My adult checks me in at the front table, making sure I have everything I need.

The counselors help me make a name tag and show me the locker room where I put my things away.

Small room with benches on the three walls and backpacks on the benches. The middle back wall is painted blue
The party room with four long white tables and blue chairs at each

Next, I go to the party room or field until everyone is here. In the party room, I can draw, play games, make crafts, and more.

On the field, I can play games like giant Connect Four, soccer, tag, and touch football.

This is a good time to go to the bathroom, too. It’s in the hallway outside the party room.

Once everyone is here, we go to the field to hear about what we will do today.

On Monday, we will practice an emergency drill by going to the grass area by the front parking lot.

If we are at the sports pavilion, we will eat lunch and our snacks in the lobby. Some days, we may eat at picnic tables in the park.

At the end of the day, my adult signs me out, and a counselor will help me get my things and go to the front.
