Let ’s Eat!

Breakfast and lunch will be provided for camp, courtesy of Abilene ISD, and Parks and Recreation provides afternoon snacks. AISD will provide meals June 7th - July 22nd, and meals will not be provided July 2nd - July 5th. When AISD isn't providing meals, we ask for campers to bring their own lunch. No microwave will be available. Snacks will be provided throughout all of camp. During extended times of outdoor activity water will be provided.

Meet the Staff Night

A Meet the Staff Night will be hosted at each recreation center on Thursday, June 3 from 6:00-7:30pm. Parents and campers will have the chance to become familiar with the staff and learn what to expect at camp. This is an excellent opportunity to complete or submit the required forms. While the meeting is not mandatory, it is highly recommended to attend.

COVID-19 Precautions Masks are optional for camp goers. Social distancing will be encouraged, along with regular hand washing breaks and the use of hand sanitizer. Our staff will also be checking temperatures daily when campers arrive. #ReadySetSummer
