What Do You Want To Do This Summer? There’s Something For Everyone! Performing Arts! Sports! Arts & Crafts! Science! Nature! Gaming! Technology! And Much More!
Summer was designed to give kids a break from school, help them try new experiences and grow mentally, physically and socially. Whether your child wants to refine a sports skill, get creative, be in a play, learn how to ride a bike, play classic and electronic games or explore the great outdoors, Arlington has something to offer.
Programs for children ages 5-11, designed to give families lots of flexibility, including an option for students attending summer school!
Check out the Arlington County Summer Camp Catalog for camps and programs that keep kids engaged, active and focused on expanding their horizons! Arlington County programs offer lots of choices, safe and inviting environments, and the chance for children to develop strong bonds with their community. Kids get their fill of thrills through sports; showcase their talents through the arts; reap the rewards of volunteerism; invigorate their imaginations through creative play; explore the outdoors through nature programs; and have adventures galore. All while making friends and lifelong memories. Summer is the perfect time to bring people together by nurturing a healthy development that helps young people grow up confident, caring and responsible.

Interested in a camp and need support for a disability? Contact the Therapeutic Recreation Office at
[email protected]. Youth with disabilities are welcome to register for any programs of interest. As part of our inclusion philosophy, all Early Childhood Recreation programs are staffed to meet state licensing requirements and we have designated Arlington Science Focus ES Summerfest as a site that receives a few additional services. This site has a lower staff to camper ratio, provides additional training for staff on program modifications, offers positive behavior supports to help create social equity and connections for individuals with and without disabilities. The Therapeutic Recreation office can help ensure that modifications are in place for your child to have a successful camp experience. Advanced notice for any requests for modifications is welcome. Reasonable modifications could include: adapted equipment and techniques, specialized staff training, sign language interpreters, accessible facilities, additional staff, or large print and Braille materials. We strive to find the best fit for your camper and at times it may be necessary to recommend a change to a camper's placement if the support, assistance and modification necessary for participation can best be provided at an alternate site. You can also check our Therapeutic Recreation (TR) Camps on pages 16. Contact the TR Office at trinfo@ arlingtonva.us, 703.228.4740 for more information.
FitArlington Every camper in the Department of Parks and Recreation summer camps can benefit from a healthy and active lifestyle. Regular physical activity controls weight, combats chronic health conditions and diseases, improves mood, boosts energy, and promotes better sleep. Our recreation programs strive to provide opportunities for each camper to get the exercise they need to sustain a healthy life. We integrate at least 45 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise into Department of Parks and Recreation summer camps through interactive sports and games run by our staff. It is our goal to provide an environment where campers are able to increase their aerobic capacity, muscular strength and overall physical fitness through fun and challenging activities. In order to provide safe opportunities for physical activity, it is imperative that your camper wears sneakers that fit properly. Laces or Velcro must be tied and secured for a snug fit on the camper’s foot. Loose shoes or Heely’s are not ideal for physical activities. Socks should also be worn. Campers wearing inappropriate footwear will be unable to fully participate for their own safety. Department of Parks and Recreation Staff will consult with a parent when improper footwear is worn.

Qualified Staff Make It Happen! Camp Facts 1O1 Everyone can have a great time this summer, but not at another’s expense. All participants must follow directions and be respectful of fellow campers, staff, and program boundaries. While each camp has a specific policy for each session, there are common policies among all Arlington camps. These policies were developed to be sure all kids are safe and have the best opportunity for an enriching and fun summer. 1.
Indicates an Arlington County camp. Register online at parks. arlingtonva.us or use the registration form on page 23 and participant information/emergency record form on page 24 to register for these camps only.
Camp and playground counselors are special people. Department of Parks and Recreation staff love working with young people. They are creative, enthusiastic, committed and sincere...plus super-patient and loads of fun! In fact, many of Arlington’s camp and playground counselors have been campers themselves, often in the programs they now direct. A lot of our committed staff are school teachers, college students, and college graduates who hope to find a permanent job working with kids. They’re a talented and fun bunch, each with loads of experience in his or her specialty area, and all committed to helping your child to be the best he or she can be. To ensure your children have a positive and fun experience, Arlington County invests many hours in staff training and development. In addition to meeting the qualifications for their position, all summer staff attend mandatory trainings that focus on promoting positive participation; creative expression; cooperative and adaptive games; heart-healthy and wellness activities; risk management and safety; child protective services; procedures and policies; planning activities; positive and productive scheduling; and developing welcoming spaces.
2. Children must wear appropriate clothing and shoes for the camp and its activities. Sandals are not allowed except on water days.
Help Wanted...You!
3. Children must bring their lunch to full day camps.
Want to have a blast this summer and make money doing it?
4. Caregivers should pick up a calendar of activities on the first day of each camp session on site.
Arlington County is looking for creative, enthusiastic, committed, sincere people who want to have fun to staff our summer camps. These are part-time to full-time temporary positions at a competitive salary. Great for teachers, college students, and anyone who wants experience working with the best kids in the nation... Arlington kids! You can also support special interest in the arts, nature, sports or working with people with disabilities. Interested? Go to parks.arlingtonva.us, search Summer Employment.
5. Excess group insurance that is above and beyond personal medical insurance is available to camp participants to cover medical expenses incurred as a result of injury at camp. 6. Behavior resulting in extreme disruption or intentional harm to self, others or property can result in removal from the program according to the Code of Conduct Policy at the discretion of program staff. Camp and playground counselors are trained to use supportive strategies and available resources to encourage positive participation as alternatives to removal. 7. To keep kids safe, summer programs will limit or cancel outdoor activities, or may even cancel programs, on “Code Red” days. Camper safety is the deciding factor. 8. Field trips are subject to change or cancellation due to inclement weather or if appropriate transportation is unavailable. 9. Locations are subject to change (this catalog conveys the most correct information available before going to press). For updates, contact the registration office at 703.228.4747 or log onto parks. arlingtonva.us, search Summer Camp. 10. The Arlington County Board approves all Arlington County camp fees. The goal is to provide programs for all County children. You may qualify for reduced fees even in non-Arlington County camps. 11. Camps with insufficient enrollment are canceled. Registration staff will help direct families to comparable open programs.

Si has olvidado tu nombre de usuario o contraseña, consulta el párrafo anterior. Para obtener ayuda, comunícate con la Oficina de Registros al 703.228.4747, de lunes a viernes, de 8 am a 5 pm o en
[email protected]. Ten en cuenta que sólo los tutores principales podrán agregar miembros de la familia o solicitar información sobre la cuenta. Prepárate para inscribirte el 14 de febrero de 2018 y a partir de esa fecha Podrás acelerar el proceso de registro en línea si tienes la información que necesitas al alcance de la mano cuando te registres en línea.
Ten la información correcta a mano Podrás acelerar el proceso de registro en línea si tienes la información que necesitas al alcance de tu mano cuando te registres en línea. 1. Conoce tu nombre de usuario y contraseña. 2. Conoce los números de actividad y los números de sesión en los que te inscribirás. Ten segundas opciones listas en caso de que ingreses en una lista de espera para tu primera opción. 3. Después de iniciar sesión, tendrás pocas opciones para seleccionar tu campamento: 4.

Para usar este método, haz clic en la opción de “inscripción rápida” en el lado derecho de tu pantalla e ingresa el código de actividad en la primera línea (123456) y el número de sesión en la segunda línea (01, 02, etc.). ¿No sabes cómo buscar número de actividad o número de sesión? Echa un vistazo a la sección “Como busco un número de actividad y número de sesión”. 5. MÉTODO 2: Buscar Actividad, el mejor para inscribir a uno o más niños en varias semanas del mismo campamento. Si conoces el número de actividad y deseas inscribirte en varias sesiones de ese campamento, haz clic en la opción “buscar actividad”. Introduce el código de seis dígitos, pulsa intro y selecciona los números de participantes y sesiones para esa actividad. 6. MÉTODO 3: ideal para navegar por todas las ofertas por tipo, ubicación o edad. Esta búsqueda se realiza mejor ANTES del primer día de registro. Una vez que te encuentres en la pantalla de criterios de búsqueda de actividades, selecciona los criterios deseados y haz clic en buscar. 7. Una vez que hayas seleccionado los campos deseados, haz clic en el signo más a la izquierda de cada descripción para añadirlo al carrito. Si el campamento ofrece horarios extendidos, se te preguntará si deseas registrarte en ellos. 8. El siguiente paso es introducir la información de tu tarjeta de crédito (Visa, Mastercard o Discover).

Listas de espera
Reducciones de tarifas
Los campamentos del Condado de Arlington son muy populares. Si una apertura no está disponible en el momento del registro, ponte en lista de espera (WL). Cuanto antes te coloques en lista de espera más probable será que consigas el lugar que desees ya que los planes de verano de los participantes cambian y el personal de registros procesa muchas cancelaciones entre el registro en línea y las fechas de inicio de los campamentos.
¡No dejes que las tarifas sean una barrera! Los residentes del Condado de Arlington pueden solicitar una reducción de tarifas basada en el ingreso familiar y el tamaño del hogar ANTES del registro, ya que los descuentos NO SON RETROACTIVOS. Para solicitar una reducción de tarifas, el tutor primario debe presentar una solicitud de reducción de tarifas, prueba de identidad, prueba de residencia en Arlington y prueba de ingresos actual (como la carta original de almuerzo gratis /de precio reducido de APS, WIC, SSI, SSDI, TANF, SNAP o formularios de impuestos vigentes, entre otros). Para obtener más información sobre cómo, cuándo y dónde presentar solicitudes de reducción de tarifas, consulta la página 5.
El personal de registro envía correos electrónicos (y realiza llamadas si no hay correo electrónico disponible) a los clientes de la lista de espera todos los días, por lo que deberías revisar tu cuenta y asegurarte de que tu información esté actualizada. Una vez que nos pongamos en contacto contigo, te daremos un aviso de 24 horas para aceptar o rechazar el lugar y, después de la fecha límite, cancelaremos el registro y pasaremos a la siguiente persona en lista de espera. No te comuniques con la Oficina de Registros para consultar acerca de la posibilidad de obtener un lugar.
Registros y formularios tardíos Toda la documentación requerida debe recibirse antes de las 5 pm del lunes anterior a la semana del campamento o los campistas no estarán autorizados a participar y no se procesará ningún reembolso. Luego de este plazo, toda la documentación deberá enviarse a la Oficina de Registros en persona. Una vez que la documentación esté completa, se entregará un paquete de Campamento de Verano a los padres y éste será solicitado por el personal antes de que el participante ingrese al campamento.
Campistas con discapacidades Los padres y tutores pueden solicitar modificaciones a través de la Oficina de Recreación Terapéutica (703.228.4740 &
[email protected]) antes de la sesión del cam pamento. Si un niño requiere recordatorios frecuentes para participar, seguir las instrucciones o permanecer con el grupo; requiere asistencia para vestirse, alimentarse o ir al baño; o si tiene dificultad para controlar la ira, por favor indique esto en los formularios de Registro de Emergencia / Información del Participante del Campamento. No hay ningún cargo adicional por este servicio. Esta información adicional es importante a fin de proporcionar modificaciones para que cada participante tenga éxito en el programa elegido.
No residentes del Condado El registro de no residentes en los campamentos del Condado de Arlington comienza el 27 de febrero de 2019. Los no residentes pagan un 15% más que las tarifas enumeradas en el catálogo, incluso los empleados de la Escuela Pública de Arlington.
¡Page mitad ahora, y la otra mitad después! Los hogares tienen la opción de pagar el 50% de la tarifa del campamento por adelantado (en el momento del registro), seguido por el 50% restante el 1 de mayo. Reglas aplicables: la opción de pago se aplica solo a las tarifas base (no incluyehoras extendidas). Información de tarjeta de crédito debe ser proporcionada y será guardada en el archivo. El restante 50% de pago será autorizado para el 1 de mayo de 2019. Esta opción solo está disponible hasta el 15 de abril. Pagos rechazados el 1 de mayo deben ser corregido lo antes posible. Falta de completar el pago restante del 50% puede resultar en retiro de campamento (el reembolso se procesará según las reglas de reembolso estándar).
Cancelaciones, Traslados y Reembolsos El pago no se basa en la asistencia; es responsabilidad del padre / tutor cancelar dentro del plazo si el campista no asistirá. Todos los reembolsos están sujetos a un cargo administrativo de $ 20 por participante por interacción con el servicio al cliente (generalmente en un recibo). Todos los cambios de registro (transferencias /cancelaciones /reembolsos) son procesados SOLO por la Oficina de Registros y no por el personal del campamento o del centro comunitario. La fecha límite para realizar cualquier cambio en los registros en los campamentos es las 5 pm del lunes anterior al inicio del campamento. No se emitirá ningún reembolso por cancelaciones solicitadas luego de ese plazo. Todos los cambios finalizan solo cuando nuestro sistema genera un recibo. Cuando se realice un cambio, lee tu recibo para confirmar que refleja tu solicitud, ya que los clientes serán responsables del pago una vez que se procese la cancelación.
Expedición de verano! Los participantes disfrutarán de una variedad de actividades de campamento de verano tradicional diseñado alrededor de un tema semanal incluyendo juegos, música y movimiento, naturaleza, deportes y manualidades. Excursiones a piscinas y otros destinos se ofrecen una vez por semana. Un almuerzo saludable se ofrecerá cada día para los participantes elegibles para recibir asistencia financiera. Proporción de personal por participante es 1:10. (Los niños de 4 años han debido completar pre-Kinder.Los de 10 años pueden estar entrando a los grados 5. Niños de 4 años deben cumplir los 5 años antes del fin de septiembre de 2019. Edades: 4-10 años.
Junior Jam! El “Jam” es para los jóvenes de 11 a 16 años que ya tienen un horario ocupado durante el verano pero todavía quieren hacer nuevos amigos y disfrutar de lo que más les gusta hacer en el verano, como paseos de campo, eventos especiales, deportes, natación, música, arte, talleres de cocina, juegos grupales y torneos con otros Jr. Jams. Este verano, los participantes van a disfrutar de viajes más largos cada jueves 1-7pm. Por favor tenga en cuenta que aunque sugerimos que el participante se quede en el centro durante todo el programa, esto no es un requisito y los participantes tienen permiso de entrar y salir a cualquier hora. Para los jóvenes que requieran más responsabilidad, considere un programa en el que sea necesario el consentimiento de los padres para salir durante las horas del programa. Para obtener información acerca del programa, comuníquese con Margo Watters llamando al 703-228-0945. Edades: 11-16 (Deben estar comenzando grado 6)
SEA UN VOLUNTARIADO CON NOSOTROS! Arlington Ama A Sus Voluntarios! Directrices para grandes oportunidades de voluntariado: 1. Voluntarios deben ser por lo menos 13 1 de mayo de 2019 y al menos dos años de más viejo que el camper más antigua en el programa en el que se colocan. 2. Los voluntarios no se colocan dónde estaban los campistas el verano anterior o donde los miembros de su familia son campistas actuales. 3. Los voluntarios deben trabajar durante cuatro semanas (dos semanas para el campamento proyecto cinco). Nuevos voluntarios deben trabajar sus dos primeras semanas consecutivamente en el mismo lugar. Es posible trabajar semanas adicionales. 4. Los voluntarios deben trabajar horas del programa base. Trabajar más de las horas de base está determinada por las necesidades del sitio. Nadie puede ofrecerse voluntariamente más de ocho horas al día. Nuestro objetivo es colocar a voluntarios cerca de su casa y en los programas de su elección. Sin embargo, no podemos garantizar las colocaciones.
Si tiene 13 o más, por favor, Únete a un grupo grande, enérgico y comprometido. Pueden divertirse mientras contribuyen sus talentos a la comunidad. Necesitamos su apoyo para ayudar al personal con el interés general, interés especial y campos de recreación terapéutica (voluntarios se colocan sólo en los campos operados por el Departamento de parques y recreación, no en los campos contratados). ¡Voluntarios toman un papel de liderazgo con el apoyo de personal capacitado en toda la diversión y campistas de actividades emocionantes disfrutan, incluyendo excursiones, manualidades, natación, canciones, juegos y mucho más! Si usted está buscando una oportunidad de desarrollo personal o profesional o simplemente tiene el deseo de trabajar con jóvenes, el voluntariado puede ser muy gratificante. Es una oportunidad para hacer amigos, trabajar con niños en un entorno de recreo supervisado y ganar valiosa experiencia en un rol de liderazgo. Para ser elegible para un estudiante asistente puesto en campos del Condado de Arlington en el futuro, debe haber sido voluntario en al menos un verano. El número de posiciones de asistente de estudiante es limitado, pero DPR no contratar a cualquier persona que no ha sido un campamento de verano voluntario.
