HELP WANTED: YOU!

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS SUMMER? THERE’S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE! Summer was designed to give kids a break from school and 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 magic, play classic and electronic games or explore the great outdoors, Arlington has something to offer. Classic Camps (page 5) offer a variety of programming options, both structured and unstructured, that include art, sports, trips and more. Overnight Camps (page 6) are a combo of a classic camp, nature/adventure camp and sleepover. Nature, Adventure or History Camps (page 6) are for kids who love the outdoors and want to learn about and enjoy nature…and maybe stretch their limits with challenges such as canoeing, caving and more. Community Center Based Camps (page 16) are programs for children ages 5-11, designed to give families lots of flexibility, including an option for students attending summer school! Creative Arts Camps (page 8) come in every shape and size, for those who want to learn to paint a picture, act in a play, throw a pot, sing a song and more! Sports Camps (page 10) are available for the sports enthusiast who enjoys every sport in a sport combo camp, or for the camper who wants to learn or refine skills in a specific sport camp such as basketball or tennis. Camps for Individuals with Disabilities (page 13) are camps specifically designed for individuals with physical, emotional, social or cognitive/mental challenges. Imagination Exploration Camps (page 15) bring kids with special interests in science, magic, history and imagination strategy games together.

Want to have a blast this summer and make money doing it? 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 (must be over 18), 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 www.arlingtonus/dpr, keyword “summer employment.”

QUALIFIED STAFF MAKE IT HAPPEN

Camp and playground counselors are special people. Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) staff must 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 schoolteachers, 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 attends 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.

ARLINGTON CAMPS FOR ALL ABILITIES

As part of our inclusion philosophy, youth with disabilities are welcome to register for programs of interest. We have designated Madison Center and Fairlington Tot camps; and Taylor Elementary Summerfest as sites that receive additional services. These sites have a lower staff to camper ratio; and provide additional training for staff on program modifications, behavior management and inclusion of individuals with disabilities. Also check our Therapeutic Recreation (TR) Camps on pages 13-14. TR staff can help ensure that accommodations are in place for your child to have a successful camp experience. Reasonable accommodations could include: adapted equipment and techniques, specialized staff training, sign language interpreters, accessible facilities, additional staff, or large print and Braille materials. Please request accommodations at least two weeks in advance. It may be necessary to change a camper’s placement if the support, assistance and accommodation necessary for participation can best be provided at an alternate site. Contact the TR Office at [email protected], 703-228-4740 for more information.

While each camp has specific policies for each session, there are common policies among all Arlington camps.

Every camper in DPR summer camps benefit from a healthy and active lifestyle.

We integrate at least 45 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise into DPR 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 wear tennis shoes that fit properly. Laces or Velcro must be tied snuggly 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.

FOR PEOPLE ~ ~ CAMPS WITH DISABILITIES Arlington County maintains a philosophy of inclusion

whereby campers with disabilities are welcome to register for any camp. We offer different levels of support to help meet the needs of each individual. For those needing maximum support, please check out the TR camps on page 14. For those who are in between minimum to moderate support, we have 3 inclusions “Designated Sites” at Madison and Fairlington Center Tot camps, and Taylor Summerfest. For those who are more independent, there are many other options for inclusion throughout the catalog. Everyone who receives support through the Therapeutic Recreation office (for inclusion or TR camps) will be sent an Accommodation Packet that will help TR plan a successful experience for each camper. Call the TR Office at 703-228-4740 or email TRInfo@ arlingtonva.us if you need recommendations on camps for your child. Note: the TR Office reserves the right to reassign campers if staff determines that he or she would be served more effectively in another program.

DESIGNATED INCLUSION SITES

Individuals with disabilities are welcome to register for any summer camp in the catalog. Some children still need lower ratios and more structure, which is where our “Designated Sites” come in. The three locations this year are Madison and Fairlington Tot Camp, and Taylor Summerfest for elementary ages. Staff at these sites have a lower ratio, and receive additional training on program modifications and behavior management. Most staff comes with previous experience working with campers with disabilities. The camp focus is on increasing camper’s awareness and comfort level interacting with peers of all different abilities. Inclusion not only benefits individuals with disabilities but has many positive benefits to all campers!

All required paperwork must be received no later than 5pm the Monday prior to the camp week or campers may not be allowed to participate and no refunds will be processed. Registrations will be

accepted up to the Monday prior to the camp start date, if space is available. For late registrations, all documents must be delivered to the Registration Office, and a Summer Camp Ticket will be provided to the parent. It is the parents responsibility to take this Camp Ticket to the first day of camp and give it to camp staff to be admitted to camp.

CAMPERS WITH DISABILITIES

Parents and guardians must request accommodations to the Therapeutic Recreation Office (703-228-4740) trinfo@arlingtonva. us at least two weeks in advance of the program session if a child requires frequent reminders to participate, follow directions or stay with the group; requires assistance with dressing, feeding or toileting; or has difficulty managing anger. Please note this on the Camp Participant Information/ Emergency Record form. This additional information is required in order to provide accommodations so that every participant will be successful in the chosen program. There is no additional fee for this service.

NON COUNTY RESIDENTS

Non-resident registration for Arlington County camps begins March 5, 2014. Non-residents pay 50% more than the fees listed in the catalog, including Arlington Public School employees. Residents should register early to ensure spots.

FEE REDUCTIONS:

Don’t let fees be a barrier. Arlington County residents may request a fee reduction! All participants must submit fee reduction applications PRIOR to registration, since discounts are NOT RETROACTIVE. Fee reductions are available on a sliding scale based on household income and size. Anyone who is an active financial assistance client of Arlington County’s Department of Human Services or APS free/reduced lunch program, as well as others who are below the threshold of the currently published HUD’s Section 8 income limits, can apply for a reduced fee. To apply, bring proof of identity, proof of Arlington residency and proof of income (such as original free/ reduced lunch letter from APS, WIC, SSI, SSDI, Section 8 Housing, or current tax forms) to receive 25%, 50% or 75% off. For more information on where and when to process fee reductions, please see page 3.

REGISTRATION CANCELLATIONS, TRANSFERS AND REFUNDS

All refunds are subject to a $20 administrative charge per participant per camp session. Payment is not based on attendance, it is responsibility of the guardian to cancel if the camper won’t attend. All registration changes (transfers/cancellations/refunds) are processed by the Registration Office ONLY and not the camp or community center staff. Deadline to make any changes to camp registrations is 5pm the Monday prior to the camp start. No refunds will be issued for cancellations requested after that deadline. All changes are finalized only when a receipt is generated by our system. Once a change is made, please read and note your receipt number, since registrants will be held responsible for payment.

DATOS BÁSICOS DEL CAMPAMENTO

Todo el mundo puede pasarla grandioso este verano, pero no a expensas del prójimo. Todos los participantes deben seguir las indicaciones y ser respetuosos de los compañeros de campamento, el personal, la propiedad y los límites del programa. Mientras que cada campamento cuenta con políticas específicas para cada sesión, existen políticas comunes entre todos los campamentos de Arlington. Estas políticas fueron creadas para garantizar que todos los chicos estén seguros y tengan la mejor oportunidad de pasar un verano divertido y enriquecedor. 1. Los niños deben utilizar vestimenta y calzado adecuados para el campamento y sus actividades. No se permite usar sandalias, excepto en los días de actividades en el agua. 2.

4. Todo aquel que esté inscrito en los campamentos del Departamento de Parques y Recreación está cubierto automáticamente bajo una póliza de grupo contra accidentes. 5. El comportamiento que resulte en un trastorno extremo o daño intencional para sí mismo, los demás o la propiedad podrá tener como consecuencia el retiro del programa según el criterio del personal del programa. Los consejeros del campamento están capacitados para utilizar las estrategias de apoyo y los recursos disponibles para alentar la participación positiva como alternativas al retiro. 6. Los lugares están sujetos a cambio (este catálogo proporciona la información disponible más correcta previo a imprimirse). Para obtener información actualizada, comuníquese con la oficina de inscripciones al 703-228-4747 o visite www.arlingtonva.us y busque “campamento”. 7.

ASISTENCIA FINANCIERA

No deje que la tarifa sea un impedimento. ¡Los residentes del Condado de Arlington pueden solicitar asistencia financiera! La solicitud de asistencia financiera se debe procesar ANTES de la inscripción porque los descuentos NO SON RETROACTIVOS. Las reducciones en las tarifas están disponibles en una escala móvil basada en el ingreso y la cantidad de integrantes del grupo familiar. Toda persona que sea un cliente activo de ayuda financiera del Departamento de Servicios Humanos del Condado de Arlington o programa de almuerzos gratuitos o a precio reducido de APS, así como también aquellas personas que estén por debajo del umbral de límites de ingreso del recientemente publicado artículo 8 de la Ley de Viviendas de HUD, pueden solicitar para recibir asistencia financiera. Para calificar a fin de recibir un descuento del 25%, 50% ó 75% en las tarifas, deberá presentar su documento de identidad y comprobantes de residencia en Arlington así como ingreso familiar (por ejemplo, la carta original de los almuerzos gratuitos o a precio reducido de APS, WIC, SSI, SSDI, del artículo 8 de la Ley de Viviendas o la declaración de impuestos actual). También existen planes de pago. Para más informacíon llame al 703-228-4747.

MANDE A UN NIÑO A UN

CAMPAMENTO…¡POR FAVOR!

En 2004, DPR creó el Fondo de Verano para la Diversión para cubrir el costo de inscripción y las excursiones para los niños que de otra forma no podrían participar debido a las dificultades económicas. Por favor, ayúdenos a garantizar que todos los niños de Arlington pasen un verano divertido y entretenido y que a la vez desarrollen valores. Contribuya con las aventuras de verano de un niño mediante una donación durante el proceso de inscripción o en el Formulario de Inscripción a Campamentos de Verano del Condado de Arlington. (página 25)

CAMPAMENTOS PARA TODAS LAS EDADES

En esta Guía de Campamentos de Verano, usted encontrará actividades para los niños de todas las edades y habilidades. Para garantizar la diversión, asegúrese de escoger un campamento que no sólo satisfaga los intereses de su hijo, sino que también sea adecuado para la edad/habilidad. Observe el cuadro de la página 27 para conocer los campamentos adecuados según la edad. Los campamentos para niños de edad preescolar son campamentos exclusivos para que los niños pequeños abran sus alas y crezcan. Los niños de edad elemental encontrarán campamentos en todas las categorías de campamentos…consulte las opciones. Algunos campamentos ofrecen buenas opciones de cuidado diurno mientras que otros son breves, encantadores y ¡realmente valen la pena!

OPORTUNIDADES DE CAMPAMENTO PARA PERSONAS CON NECESIDADES ESPICALES

El Condado de Arlington sostiene una filosofía de inclusión por la cual las personas con ol son bienvenidas para inscribirse en cualquier programa o campamento. A fin de garantizar que los participantes tengan una experiencia positiva, ofrecemos campamentos en Centros de Inclusión designados. Los campamentos “Tot” para pequeños en Madison y Fairlington y “Summerfest” (Festival de verano) en la escuela primaria McKinley son centros que reciben servicios adicionales, incluso una menor capacidad máxima en los campamentos, más personal en proporción a los campistas y capacitación adicional para el personal sobre modificaciones de los programas y manejo del comportamiento. Todas las personas que reciben apoyo a través de la Oficina de Recreación Terapéutica (Campamentos de inclusión o TR) deben completar un Paquete de Alojamiento, además de los formularios de inscripción en la página 25. La Oficina de Recreación Terapéutica enviará el Paquete de Alojamiento una vez que el niño esté inscrito. La información proporcionada en el Paquete de Alojamiento le permite a TR planificar una experiencia exitosa para cada campista, independientemente de sus

capacidades. Se realizan todos los esfuerzos por incluir a los campistas en los programas de recreación que más se adapten a sus intereses y capacidades. Llame a la Oficina de TR al 703-228-4740 si necesita recomendaciones sobre campamentos para su hijo. Nota: la oficina de TR se reserva el derecho de reasignar a los campistas si el personal determina que recibirán una atención más eficaz en otro programa.

UN PERSONAL CALIFICADO HACE QUE LAS COSAS FUNCIONEN

Los asesores del campamento y el campo de juegos son gente especial. El personal de el Departmento de Parques y Recreación tiene que adorar el trabajo con jóvenes (de lo contrario no los contrataríamos). Ellos son creativos, entusiastas, comprometidos y sinceros… ¡Y súper pacientes y muy divertidos!
