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.

camp a perfect fit. Whichever camp you choose, our

program leaders will make sure that your child has a

wonderful summer!

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.
