27th Annual Paper Boat Race
Each year, staff representatives from each Recreation Summer Camp (Tenderfoot, Little Walnut, Walnut
Creek Day Camp, Walnut Creek Sports Camp, Arts, Adventures & Academics, Specialized Recreation
Camp and the pool lifeguards) compete in a cardboard boat race across the lap pool. Themed boats
are made of masking tape, cardboard, and white glue. Each boat is large enough to carry a camp leader
across the pool and back. Awards are given both to the race winner and to the camp with the most
creative theme. Campers from afternoon camps attend the race during camp hours. Morning-only
campers are encouraged to attend the event with their parents or guardians to participate in the boat
parade and support their counselors in the cheering section.

Specialized Recreation Summer Camp
This summer camp is specifically designed for children, teens and
young adults who have special needs. Our professionally trained
staff creates a loving and nurturing environment for your child.
Emphasis is placed on social interaction, recreational and
educational activities, community involvement and weekly
excursions.
Campers experience a fun-filled day camp with crafts, games,
nature study, music, sports, drama and swimming. Activities for
teens and young adults help to develop independent living skills
such as shopping, cooking, social skills and environmental
education.
SERVICES OF A PERSONAL NATURE: The Camp does not provide
assistance in eating and toileting and although our staff/volunteer
to camper ratio is very high (3 to 1), this does not mean that we
are able to provide 1 to 1 care for your child during the camp.
Register separately for trips. Trips include kayaking at Lake
Chabot, Cardboard Boat Races, and the Oakland Zoo. Registration
cost includes $25 supply fee.

Summer Art Camps
Join us for one or more of our creative arts adventures. These
theme-based arts sessions are designed for children ages 5-10.
Instead of traveling far to Los Angeles, join us at Civic Artland and
be part of our special summer creative art camps. Be prepared to
draw, paint, sculpt, build, sing, dance, act and create in all
possible ways. Each week we will travel to a special time or land
and explore the artwork of that world. Children bring both snacks
and a lunch plus drink each day. Wear comfortable clothes.
