THRIVE 2011 Overview THRIVE 2011 is made up of three components: Day Camp, Enrichment Classes and Leadership. Students may attend any one or a combination of the three.
Thrive Day Camp combines the fun, friendships and adventure of
camp with the excitement of intellectual discovery focusing on moral and character development at all grade levels. Camp Benefits • New, exciting themes each week • Field trips each week (Maximum of 8) • Enrichment Classes (optional) • Swimming (optional) • Snacks and lunch provided • Open 6 a.m. (6:30 @ Puyallup) to 6 p.m. • Acres on which to play • Playground trips
Enrichment Classes
prevent summer learning loss. Enrichment classes can either be taken as an enhancement to THRIVE Day Camp, or on their own for students seeking summer learning opportunities, but not attending Day Camp. These classes offer students a highquality experience with enriching and challenging coursework, and an opportunity to learn new skills. Classes are small, with a typical enrollment of ten to twelve students. Each student gets one-on-one instruction and personalized assistance. With so many classes to choose from, your child can have a “Summer Blast” as they THRIVE this Summer! Enrichment Class Benefits • Reduce summer learning loss • Hands-on learning • Gain confidence • Sharpen skills • Try something new

THRIVE Leadership
All Junior High campers will enjoy exciting day camp activities and field trips, plus participate in leadership training activities that concentrate on positive reinforcement, mentoring, responsibility and trust. They also have the option to add the Tuesday Wild Waves trip (see details under “Add-ons”). Junior Counselors: THRIVE Leadership offers a valuable opportunity for the students to participate in a leadership training practicum. Registered campers at the Puyallup campus who are entering at least 7th grade in the fall may apply for a limited number of positions as Junior Counselors. Junior Counselors will participate in all THRIVE Leadership activities in a leadership capacity, receive a 50% discount on their weekly summer camp tuition, and attend a special Junior Counselor party. Dates THRIVE 2011 is a ten-week program (nine at Puyallup) that begins on Monday, June 20, and ends on Tuesday, August 30 (August 19 at Puyallup). Enrichment Classes are available June 27 through August 19. All camps will be closed on July 4 in observance of Independence Day and August 24-26 for Teacher In-service. Times Day Camp hours are 6 a.m. (6:30 a.m. at Puyallup) to 6 p.m. with camp activities taking place from 8:30 to 3. Enrichment Class times meet 9 to 11 a.m. or 1 to 3 p.m. (except where noted), with extended care available at the Puyallup campus. Ages THRIVE 2011 is open to all children entering 1st through 6th grades (8th grade at Puyallup) in the fall of 2011. See inside front cover for preschool and kindergarten information. Supervision and Grouping of Students All programs and field trips are supervised by responsible and nurturing staff. Students remain with their counselor throughout the day, ensuring that students feel safe and “at home” while enjoying everything THRIVE Day Camp has to offer. Students are grouped according to their grade level for the 2011-2012 school year.
