ACTIVITIES:
One of the best things about Summer Day Camp at Girls Place are the activities our girls are involved in! On a typical day, girls will participate in supervised free play time from 7:30am-9:00am. They will then begin the scheduled activities for the day. Typically, our girls go on field trips at least two-three times per week. You will often find that they are going somewhere every day!
Activities can include but are not limited to: swimming at springs and local pools, movies, nature trails, tours of local businesses, museums, libraries, botanical gardens, parks, guest speakers, presentations from nursing students, community service activities and more. We are sure to keep our girls busy every day!
Outside of field trips, group counselors will have scheduled activities here at our facility during the day. In their divided groups, our girls engage in social, learning and just plain fun activities. In a warm and caring atmosphere, girls are able to explore their world and learn from and with each other.
The girls will participate in supervised free play time from 7:30am-9:00am. They will then begin the scheduled activities for the day.
SWIMMING:
The girls will swim at NE Pool every Monday. Please be prepared with bathing suit, towel and sunscreen.
MEAL PROGRAM:
For the 2011 Summer Day Camp program, Girls Place has a summer meal program that offers complimentary breakfast and lunch to all girls attending our program. Food choices are based on a menu posted weekly at the concession stand.
Girls are welcome to bring their own meals if they prefer, and are also welcome to purchase items from our concession stand.
Times*:
- Breakfast: 9:00 am
- Lunch: 12:00 pm
*All times are contingent on the field trip schedule for that day and may vary.
What’s For Sale at the Concession Stand?
- Items will vary, but may include juice, Gatorade, water, candy, chips, or fruit bowls
- Items range from $0.25-$1.00
Concession Accounts
We prefer that a concession account is established to avoid any issues with missing money. An account can be set up in our front office and parents can set daily spending limitations if desired. We cannot be responsible for lost or stolen money, so this is the preferred option for girls who wish to purchase snacks.
PICK-UP:
When it is time for your child to go home, we want to make sure that she is safe! A receptionist will be sitting at the front desk and will call your child over the intercom. If the receptionist is not on duty, please report to the office. Note: you will be charged a late fee if your child is not picked up by 6:00pm.
*EARLY DROP-OFF:
Early drop off is available for an additional $1 per day (to be paid upon arrival).
**FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE:
A limited amount of assistance was awarded based on need and as available. Financial Assistance applications are no longer available.
