After School Camp

SUPER SUMMER 2023

Camp Fire programming allows participants to explore their sparks, learn to make healthy choices, develop social skills, build new talents, and have fun. Our goal is to provide youth with opportunities to cultivate their inner passions, skills, values, and attributes-- or sparks, as we like to call them.

Super Summer is a safe, fun day camp for kids on summer vacation. We provide meals, lead them through dynamic and exciting programming, and carefully supervise them to make sure they are safe and having fun. After holding Super Summer at Kiwanis Park for a few years, we are bringing it back to Walla Walla! This allows us more opportunities for guest speakers and field trips, all at a location that is more convenient for our Walla Walla families. We're so excited to get out in the sunshine and have some FUN!

REGISTRATION IS OPEN! Click here to register on Playground.

Summer Camp is open to children entering first through sixth grades. Children must have completed kindergarten. Limited, case-by-case exceptions can be made for younger siblings of Camp Fire families and children who have already participated in our pre-k Camp Fire program or a comparable program, however those children MUST be going into kindergarten in fall 2023-- we don't have the resources to provide a developmentally appropriate program for children younger than that. Children also must be 100% independent with bathroom use, as Camp Fire staff is completely unable to accompany children into the bathroom.
Camp is open from 7:30am - 5:30pm, Monday - Friday. Supervision of your children cannot be provided outside of our program hours. The activities, field trips, and events of our Camp Day take place from 9am - 3pm, with self-directed free time taking place during the first few and last few hours of camp.
Morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack will be provided each day. Check the Camp bulletin board for menu information. You can send your child with their own snacks and lunch if desired. Please DO NOT send anything with nuts, including peanut butter.
Weekly activities include: swimming at Memorial pool, water play at Wildwood Park, visits to the library, projects and activities based on the weekly theme, group games, sports, guest presenters, and other field trips like the Whitman planetarium.
Summer Camp is primarily an outdoor program. To help keep your children safe and comfortable, have them come with appropriate clothing and items.
- Sunscreen - remember to apply generously to your child each morning. You can also send sunscreen with your child to apply throughout the day.
- Water bottle - send a water bottle with your child's name written on it in permanent marker.
- Shoes - closed-toe shoes are preferred. Sandals are okay, but please no flip flops.
- Bathing Suit - send a bathing suit with your child EVERY DAY. Campers will have water play throughout the week.
- Towel - remember to include a towel for swimming or water play.
- Water Shoes - water shoes are a good option for water play. They are great for protecting your child from sharp objects on the ground.
- Please mark all of your child's belongings with their first and last name!
Please leave all toys and games at home! Camp Fire is not responsible for campers' personal items. Books are okay to bring, but children are responsible for taking care of their own books, including library books checked out during Camp Fire programming.
A weekly schedule can be found on the camp bulletin board. We encourage parents to view the schedule and be familiar with the planned weekly activities.

SUMMER CAMP FAQ

How do I register?

Click the registration link above. It'll take you to Playground, where you'll fill out an application form. Then, click "add-ons". Select ALL weeks you plan on having your child attend (if your plans change later, just email Carly to get weeks taken off).

How does payment work?

Once you sign up for all your weeks of camp, your total summer balance will show. This amount is NOT due all at once-- the billing period is weekly. You'll input a payment method and click "submit application".

Are there any daily or half day rates?

No. Weekly rates only.

Do I have to register for the full summer?

No; you can, but you can also register for individual weeks if that better suits your needs.

Does each week cost the same?

Each full week costs $185. Camp is closed July 3 and 4 (Monday and Tuesday) so that week will cost $111. Every other week of camp is 5 days long.

What if my plans change and I need to cancel part of my registration?

There is not a way to do this on Playground, but if you reach out to Carly, she will get your registration updated and make sure you are not charged for any weeks of camp your child does not attend.

If my child is sick for a full camp week and is unable to attend, will the charge for that week be cancelled?
