Impact of the Pandemic on Parks Jai Cole, Executive Director
Those who make managing parks our livelihoods have always understood the importance of green spaces in people’s lives – even before the pandemic. COVID-19 exponentially raised park visitation, illustrated our human need to be outdoors, and illuminated the value of trail systems, outdoor gathering spaces and parks in proximity to where people live. The numbers are staggering. The National Recreation and Park Association’s Engagement Report, a report card detailing park system usage and recreational trends throughout America, found 260 million Americans visited a local park or recreational facility several times between May 2020 and May 2021. In fact, 35% of all Americans have visited local parks more often compared to pre-pandemic levels, and 7 in 10 have maintained or increased park usage. Quite simply, people are flocking to parks – the effect in evidence in Fairfax County parks during the initial phase of the pandemic and continuing still.
Ken Quincy.................Vice Chairman, Providence
People come to parks for many reasons; health and wellness (stress relief and exercise), to be with family and friends, and to enjoy nature.
Michael Thompson, Jr........Secretary, Springfield

• Equitable access to local parks and recreation is vital. Most adults (87%) say it’s important for people to have fair and just access to high-quality park and recreation programs, services and facilities that create healthy, resilient and economically vibrant communities, including access to parks, green spaces, recreation facilities and youth sports and programs. • People value trails. Three in four adults say access to public walking, hiking or biking trails near their home is key.
James P. Zook.............................Member-at-Large
• Nationally, 93% of adults agree that activities offered by local parks are beneficial to their mental health – this includes opportunities to socialize, access nature and exercise.
The Park Authority Board meets at 7:30 p.m. every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at the Herrity Building. The public is invited to attend. The board minutes and other information from these meetings are available at: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/board.
• People find value in their local park systems: in person and via the virtual realm. More than 8 in 10 (82%) American adults found virtual health resources, including physical activity classes, valuable during the pandemic. In Fairfax, tens of thousands participated in cost-free Healthy Strides classes, SOL/STEM-based programs, summer concerts and events via the Virtual Exploration Center since the pandemic.
Fairfax County Park Authority Leadership Jai Cole......................................Executive Director Sara Baldwin.......................Deputy Director/COO Aimee L. Vosper...................Deputy Director/CBD
We continue to evaluate Fairfax County Park Authority actions to date and responses during the pandemic. After-action sessions prepare us for future emergencies and help us learn from those things we did well, and those that need improvement. There is still work to be done, challenges to overcome, and community conversations to be held. We welcome all opportunities to build a resilient, equitable system and prepare for whatever lies ahead. Overall, it appears that the Park Authority weathered the COVID-19 storm relatively well. And of course, it’s not over yet. Jai Cole FCPA Executive Director

Healthy Strides
Celebrates 10
th
Anniversary
4
The Healthy Strides 5k/10k is celebrating a 10-year “Runniversary” this year as the annual fitness event returns to Burke Lake Park on Saturday, April 30. Race Director Julie Frederickson says, “We are excited to have some new surprises at our 2022 event to commemorate our anniversary.” The inaugural race was held in 2012 as part of the Park Authority’s Take 12 community wellness program. It quickly became the program’s signature event, which was later renamed to reflect its theme -- Healthy Strides. Barbara Murillo has been participating in the Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) race since the beginning when her daughter was an FCPA intern who helped plan the inaugural run. “I love this event because FCPA does a great job of making this inclusive for everyone, young and old, fast and not so fast, while emphasizing the importance of good nutrition, consistent training and having fun to maintain a healthy life.” Murillo shares a love of running with her daughter and adds, “Now that she’s a mom of a six- year-old and an almost three-year-old, we’ve introduced the third generation to the Healthy Strides race.” “The race has many loyal participants and has grown throughout the years,” says Frederickson. “Our last event at Burke Lake Park was the largest yet with our maximum of 550 runners. Hosting the event at Burke Lake lets us showcase this beautiful park.” The accessible 5k course goes from Shelter A to the campground and back, giving runners stunning views of the Burke Lake Golf Course. The 10k course offers wonderful water views as it winds around the lake. Due to COVID-19 concerns, the event was canceled in 2020 and registrants were given the option to defer their registration or receive a refund. The race was held virtually in 2021, and more than 200 participants recorded 1,200+ miles across seven states, raising more than $1,000 for the Fairfax County Park Foundation’s Trail Building & Care. “I was thrilled with the success of our virtual event, but I am excited to come together and celebrate our 10-year anniversary in person,” says Frederickson. “Everyone comes as they are and finishes at their own pace. I love to see them cheering for each other as they pass the finish line.” The Healthy Strides 5k/10k is just one element of the Park Authority’s Healthy Strides program. If you can’t make it to a park, try one of the many Healthy Strides virtual fitness programs. See the calendar of events on the Healthy Strides web page at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/healthystrides. For more information about the 5K/10K, visit: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/healthy-strides/10k5k.

Sample Some
Park Authority Style
Trail mix isn’t just for eating anymore. The Park Authority has cooked up a no-calorie Trail Mix that will satisfy your hunger for an outdoor fitness program that’s fun for everyone in the family. Starting February 1, walk, jog or run on designated trails at Ellanor C. Lawrence Park and Mason District Park and look for markers along the way with QR codes offering exercise demonstrations. Stop at the markers in any order and choose from low impact, medium and advanced exercise options to suit your taste. “Trail Mix plays on the idea of fitness as a recipe for healthy living,” explains Wellness Coordinator Elizabeth Ittner, who developed the program with Oak Marr Rec Center Fitness Director Hannah Hutton. “All of the fitness ‘ingredients’ will provide a complete body workout.” There are eight markers along each trail, and Ittner says, “The theme of each station is a measurement of ingredients, just like you would see in a recipe -- dash, pinch, and dip -- and the exercises coincide with the food ingredients.” For example, all good trail mixes need a base ingredient, such as granola. Think of the exercise you get moving from station to station as that firm building block for your Trail Mix. Try some squats or frog jumps to add a little zing to your mix. Imagine chocolate-covered raisins or popcorn. Do some crunches to get that nutty flavor. Throw in a sprinkle of jumping jacks, a pinch of calf raises and a slice of toe touches as you add to your fitness recipe. Since you can mix up your stops in any order, each of the markers contains a code for the exercise video, as well as introductory and ending messages. The introductory message explains the Trail Mix theme and introduces users to their fitness instructor guides. The closing message offers a wrap-up exercise suggestion. “All you need is a smart device with internet capabilities to scan the QR codes and watch the videos,” says Ittner. “No exercise equipment is needed, and all of the exercises can be done standing. We understand the importance of outdoor space on health for mind and body, and we wanted to incorporate a fun, family-friendly activity that would promote that nature-health connection.” The paved Big Rocky Run Trail at Ellanor C. Lawrence Park and the Meadows Trail at Mason District Park are the first to get the Trail Mix signage. Big Rocky Run is an out-and-back trail that is just over a mile roundtrip. Meadows Trail is a .54-mile loop trail that is mostly paved or stone dust. Ittner and Hutton hope to expand the Trail Mix program in the future to include a variety of health and wellness themes, such as yoga, ninja warrior or storybook trails. The Healthy Strides Trail Mix program is supported by the Fairfax County Park Foundation. For more information, please visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/trail-mix.

Spring on the Farm
Spring is a fantastic time to visit Frying Pan Farm Park! From February to May, you can see newborn farm animals almost every week! Up first are usually sheep and pigs. Individual sheep deliver up to three lambs, while a single sow can have more than a dozen piglets. “We give the newborns special care away from the public when they’re first born,” says Frying Pan Operations Manager Paul Nicholson. “After they’re thriving, we bring them out to where visitors can see them.” The kid goats generally arrive in April. Baby goats are often born in pairs or triplets. On the other hand, cows usually only have one calf at a time. Frying Pan’s cows are expected to deliver calves in May and June. “Each spring the farm has anywhere from 30 to 50 new arrivals, and that’s not even counting baby birds,” Nicholson says. (Frying Pan is home to several peacocks, turkeys, ducks and chickens.) A great time to see all the new arrivals is during Spring Farm Day on Saturday, May 7. The annual event was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic but Frying Pan Farm Park Manager Nicole Mitchell is planning for it to make a comeback in 2022. “Spring Farm Day is a fun Saturday where families come to Frying Pan and enjoy food, games, demonstrations, wagon and carousel rides, and lots more. It’s going to be really special this year after such a long absence!” Mitchell says. Frying Pan Farm Park in Herndon is open daily from dawn to dusk. There’s no fee to visit the park or see the animals. To keep everyone healthy and safe, please do not give the animals anything to eat. Questions? Call the park at 703-437-9101. 6

This is
NOT Your Parent’s SUMMER CAMP! Summer camp has come of age. No longer will you find one size fits all camp experiences. Instead, the possibilities are nearly endless. The Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) has reimagined summer camp and offers a place for children and teenagers to thrive and explore new lifetime learning experiences. Just as we stretch our bodies to promote wellness, camps can help children exercise their imagination, feed their curiosity and take a deep dive into favorite activities. Donna-Rose Dingee chose Park Authority camps for her kids because the locations were convenient and the camps were a good fit for her children’s interests. Eight-year-old Elijah attended ROCS (Rec Centers Offer Cool Stuff), and six-year-old Lydia attended Jr. ROCS. “I liked the hours, variety of activities (indoor swimming at Cub Run was a huge hit), engagement of the camp counselors, the nature walks they would take, and most of all that my kids were excited to go to ROCs every day,” says Dingee. Elijah remembers, “I liked when we would take nature walks down to play in the creek and look for animals.” And Lydia says, “Oh, it was sooo fun!” FCPA is the largest summer camp provider in Northern Virginia, offering more than 1,800 weeks of camp at over 40 locations. Diversity and choice make all the difference. Think chess or perhaps fishing camp. Discover magic or get better at your favorite sport. When it comes to athletics, there are options such as swim camp, gymnastics, soccer, basketball and pickleball. From dancing to pottery, nature camps to virtual 3D game design, mountain biking to adventure camp – there are wonderful choices waiting for your family. “Camp comes in all shapes and sizes, just like children,” says Camp Director Deidre “Miss DeDe” Schrader. Even though the types of camps have changed over the years, she notes, “Our mission hasn’t changed -friendship, fun and memories.” Camps help children make lifelong connections and build both skills and character. Quite simply, Miss DeDe says, “A summer without camp is like, well, a boring summer.” Week-long day camps generally run from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., Why choose just one camp, when programs run all summer long! Camps can be focused on specialized skills or interests, provide specific skill-building opportunities, make lesson-based curricula such as robotics or Lego engineering fun, and allow parents to help their children discover new areas of interest – one week at a time.

It’s Time to Gather Again! Birds, buds and hibernating bears aren’t the only ones peeking out again in springtime. Spring is prime season for people to emerge from their wintry cocoons and start to gather again, and Fairfax County parks offer indoor and outdoor rental spots and party packages to accommodate every group and occasion. The Facility Rentals web page at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/facility-rentals is the place to start. Rickelle Gordon was “searching high and low for a reasonably priced facility to host our bridal shower” when she found her “diamond” in a Club Room at Spring Hill Rec Center. Gordon says General Manager Doreen Henry “was more than an event manager – she was my therapist. It was an amazing experience from start to finish.” Chantilly’s Dance 4U Dance Company used the Frying Pan Farm Park Visitor Center for a recent recital and as a rehearsal space. Dance 4U’s Dee Newman says it was great working with the “accommodating and caring” staff at Frying Pan and adds, “I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a rental!” Looking for a fun way to celebrate your child’s next birthday? Park Authority rec centers, golf courses, nature centers, historic sites and amenity-filled parks offer birthday packages for all ages. Kids can swim, ice skate, meet animals, ride a train, ride a wagon, fish, golf, mini-golf, garden, have tea, learn about farm life, go on an insect safari, enjoy a campfire and more. Michelle Ly, the parent of two adventurous kids says, “Our boys attended summer camps at Hidden Oaks and it is one of their favorite places in the whole world.” That’s why she decided to host a Nocturnal Animals-themed birthday party at the nature center when Xavier Ly turned six. “It was fantastic. Alex Doumbia was the staffer who led the event. He was so enthusiastic and kind. Can’t imagine a better host for our group of children.” 8
Explore your party options at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parties If you’re feeling like Goldilocks and trying to find a spot that’s just the right size for an outdoor family reunion, school outing or corporate gathering, go to the picnic rentals web page at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/picnics. The user-friendly online tools let you search by capacity, amenities, location and availability. You can even filter for picnic areas that will allow you to bring in a food truck or blast some tunes. Planning a wedding? The Laurel Hill Golf Club and Twin Lakes Golf Course offer spacious banquet facilities in beautiful settings. Work with an event coordinator to make your day perfect. Find details at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/ golf/parties. The Park Authority even has a Showmobile (www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/showmobile) it rents to groups such as Scouts, Little League and local non-profits, as well as Fairfax County-based businesses. The Showmobile is a 32-foot long portable stage that can be used for entertainment at outdoor events. Time to put the band back together!
Get the Par-Tee Started at Twin Lakes Golf Course
“Everyone’s ‘best day ever’ means something different and I’m here to help make that happen- whatever that looks like for you,” says Amanda Mason, Event Director at Twin Lakes Golf Course.
Since joining the Twin Lakes team last fall, Mason has been making her mark, coordinating a host of events, private gatherings and weddings at this popular course and party venue. The Certified Wedding Planner says, “Twin Lakes is perfect for couples looking for an affordable, large space with a dreamy backdrop. The staff is here to streamline all the details, pay attention to the small and large things, and ultimately help take the stress off the bride and groom so they can make memories on their special day.” Mason has a passion for event planning and is willing to think “outside of the tee box.” She looks forward to engaging with wedding couples, as well as with businesses and non-profit organizations looking for a venue for their gatherings. When it comes to planning a successful event of any kind, Mason says, “The first element is active listening. When I meet with potential clients I want to hear their ideas.” As Event Director at the course, Mason is also planning gatherings and organizing events for the many golfers who consider Twin Lakes to be their home course and look forward to the fun and engaging social golf outings and activities that are her planning specialty.
HIDDEN GEM
Cub Run Central Trail
Tucked away behind neighborhoods in Centreville is one of the best places to see bluebells in the region. The woods here are a sea of blue and purple hues in the spring as the bluebells make their annual, showstopping debut. Virginia bluebells only bloom for about three weeks in March or April, and the perennial flowers have a distinct purplish-blue trumpet-shaped flower. Lifelong resident, Cheryl Sutphin says, “The bluebell trail is a hidden gem in Centreville. Thousands of bluebells carpet the ground as bicyclists and walkers gaze at their beauty. It is an annual tradition for our family.” The fairly level asphalt trail is perfect for walking, biking, and strollers. Along the tranquil trail are train track ruins and streams. “The trail offers more than recreational amenities,” notes Jason Sutphin, Cheryl’s husband. “At one end is a historically significant site, at the other is the Cub Run stream. In between lies a stretch of woods that illuminates every spring with the blossoms of the bluebell flowers.”. The Cub Run Central Trail runs through the Cub Run and Rocky Run stream valleys and is approximately 2.5 miles long. Entrance to the trail is provided through adjacent neighborhoods; no formal parking areas are available. To find out more about this trail or others in your neighborhood, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/trails/maps. Spring 2022 l 2021

VOLUNTEER & DONOR PROFILE
Mona Enquist-Johnston
Mona Enquist-Johnston has given almost a half century to Fairfax County’s parks. Since 1975, she’s been a paid Fairfax County Park Authority staffer and a volunteer. She’s led wildflower walks, given wildlife talks, developed programs for adults and children, imagined and organized events, trained her cohorts, recruited and coordinated volunteers, and lead the Parkettes onstage to recognize those volunteers who are the engines that power our parks. Last year she’s found a new way to support the parks she loves. “I’d like to contribute more than time and talent,” she wrote to Fairfax County Park Foundation executive director, Bobbi Longworth. “I’d like to make a monetary contribution.” With 46 years of an insider’s perspective, Mona knew exactly where she wanted the money to go. The funds from her required IRA (Individual Retirement Account) distribution were to be split between Huntley Meadows and Riverbend parks. “I’m proud of what the staffs have accomplished managing the unique natural resources at each of those sites and want to support their efforts,” she wrote. Karen Sheffield, the manager at Huntley Meadows Park, will use the donation to enhance the park’s central wetland habitat. For this premiere birding spot, the projects include the repair, maintenance and additions of nest boxes, wood duck boxes and mallard tubes; surveys of rare wetland birds using acoustic equipment; goose enclosure fencing; a study of goose impacts on wetlands vegetation; wetland plantings and removal of invasive species; and upgrades for the weather and data station that provides critical data for management of the central wetland. At Riverbend Park, manager John Callow intends to improve natural resource protection with erosion control projects along park trails and the Potomac River shoreline and to upgrade habitats with native species plantings, invasive plant removal and attractions for pollinators. The contributions will make a significant difference at the two popular parks. Through these actions, Enquist-Johnston’s legacy of stewardship education and protection of natural resources continues. She’s also a core volunteer at Hidden Oaks Nature Center, where she presents parent/child nature programs. “When Mona tells a story, it’s always a treat with her expressions and the many ways she involves kids through movement and sounds,” said Avery Gunther, Hidden Oaks naturalist. “Miss Mona’s warmth, enthusiasm and ability to connect with even the youngest child makes her unique,” added parent Kathy Kokta. “Programs have been magical in large part due to her intuitive gift for seeing the world from a child’s perspective. She holds a picture just a little longer to catch a child’s eye, knows what to say to bring everyone’s attention back and sees humor in everything.” Introducing children to the natural world is an investment in a community’s future. So is making a financial donation to the Fairfax County Park Foundation for the community’s parks. Contributing through an IRA disbursement is thoughtful and easy. Ms. Enquist-Johnston had her distribution check sent directly to the Park Foundation. Foundation Executive Director Bobbi Longworth concluded, “This is a wonderful way for donors to support their favorite park or program!”

CubRunREC Su CubRunREC Su OakMarREC Sa OakMarREC Sa SoRunREC Sa SoRunREC Sa
4AD 4AE
(6-12 yrs.) Students engage in activities to overcome fear of water and gain basic swimming and water safety skills in a group setting. Skills include entering and exiting water safely, blowing bubbles, floating, gliding and using arms and legs to swim with flotation assistance. Parent participation may be required.
We suggest if it has been a month or longer since a student has participated in a swimming lesson, that they repeat the previous course completed. If you have any questions about which class is right for you or your child, please contact the Adapted Program Specialist at 703-324-8730. For safety reasons and to ensure customers get the maximum aquatic program benefits, the Park Authority reserves the right to remove students from an inappropriate class and either issue a refund or place them, when possible, in a class that better matches their ability.
4AD 4AE
Practice and Repetition are keys to success
Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills. Students often repeat a level several times before developing the endurance and skill proficiency necessary for advancement. Repeating a level does not constitute failure; it is to be expected. Mastering skills takes time, practice, and patience.
Adapted Swimming-Preschoolers
(3-5 yrs.) Through play and individual attention, preschoolers and their parents work on adjusting to a new environment. Focus is on entry and exit skills, water safety, blowing bubbles and arm and leg propulsion on the front and back. Parent participation is required. 6--30 minute lessons--$87 7--30 minute lessons--$101

Follow guidelines when registering We suggest if it has been a month or longer since a student has participated in a swimming lesson, that they repeat the previous course completed. If you have any questions about which class is right for you or your child, please contact the aquatic staff at your favorite Rec Center. For safety reasons and to ensure customers get the maximum aquatic program benefits, the Park Authority reserves the right to remove students from an inappropriate class and either issue a refund or place them, when possible, in a class that better matches their ability. Practice and Repetition are keys to success Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills. Students often repeat a level several times before developing the endurance and skill proficiency necessary for advancement. Repeating a level does not constitute failure; it is to be expected. Mastering skills takes time, practice and patience. Combining course levels When enrollment is low, course levels may be combined to avoid class cancelations. Practice Healthy Swimming Habits Accidents in the pool involving vomit or fecal matter require the pool to be closed to clean and sanitize the water. Under Health Department standards recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), accidents involving fecal matter require longer pool closure. Prevention is far better than clean up, so please follow the CDC guidelines: • Children (and adults) who have had diarrhea in the last two weeks should not go swimming. • Be sure to use the bathroom before getting into the pool and take frequent bathroom breaks. For public health reasons, standard diapers cannot be worn in the pool. Children who are not yet toilet trained must wear snug fitting plastic pants and/ or a swim diaper under their bathing suit. Waist and legs on plastic pants or swim diapers must be snug enough to contain matter that could contaminate the pool. Please check diapers often and change them in the locker room not on the pool deck. • Adults who have continence issues should refrain from using the pool. • Shower before entering the pool and after using the toilet. • Avoid swallowing pool water or even getting it in your mouth.

Small-Group Lessons Rec Centers offer small-group lessons. This lesson option complements the Park Authority’s other swim instruction offerings: • Private Lessons for students ages 3 to adult offer one-on-one instruction solely based on the student’s skill level. • Semi-private lessons for students ages 3 to adult offer instruction between two participants of similar ability and one instructor. • Small-group lessons offer the same curriculum as the larger, traditional group lessons but to a smaller group of swimmers. Small-group lessons lower student-to-teacher ratios, offer more personalized instruction and more practice time than largegroup lessons. Traditional group lessons offer a comprehensive curriculum for participants ranging in age from 6 mos. to adult.

• All refunds and transfers MUST be requested at least 14 days prior to the camp session from which you are withdrawing. All approved refunds will incur a $25 processing fee; there is no fee for approved transfers outside of the 14 days. • If approved, transfers may only be made from one camp to another camp; not from a camp to a class or Rec-PAC. • Refunds and transfers are NOT permitted without 14 days’ notice. Within 13 days of the start of camp, refunds are only given if the child has a medical emergency and a doctor’s written verification is submitted BEFORE the camp begins. • If a camper cannot finish camp once it begins due to a medical condition, a doctor’s note is required within 24 hours for a pro-rated refund. Requests received after the camp session ends will not be granted. • There are no refunds or credits for missed days due to changed work or vacation schedules, illness, ages of other campers or other non-emergency reasons. In addition, we do not provide refunds or credits for changes to camp schedules due to weather.
Once registered, DOWNLOAD YOUR CAMP FORMS at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/camps The FCPA routinely monitors guidance from the CDC and governing health agencies to ensure enhanced safety protocols are in place to maintain a healthy environment for children and staff. To ensure everyone’s safety, camp procedures related to COVID-19 protocol may change at the direction of the CDC and local health officials. Activities may also be altered or omitted based on recommendations for our area. While we would like to be able to provide you with solid information at this time regarding the safety protocol for campers and staff, we won’t know the official recommendations from the CDC and health department until we are closer to the start of the programs. • Some camps are licensed by the Va. Dept. of Social Services. These camps require additional paperwork such as an immunization record and proof of child’s identity. Download the camp forms packet at https:// www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/camps to determine if your child’s camp is licensed. • Not a county resident? No worries, we welcome non-Fairfax County residents to join our camps. There is a $15 out-of-county fee. • To provide several options for our customers, camp length and times vary. Be sure to check number of days and hours for each camp. • On rainy days or when substantial rain is expected, some outdoor camps may be canceled for the day. On code red days, campers will engage in outdoor activities during the day while taking in plenty of water and several shaded breaks. Many of our camps are held outdoors. Please check with the site for more information. • What do you need for camp? Many of our camps will email participants a few days prior to the start date. Most half-day camps will ask campers to bring a snack and drink. Full-day campers will need a snack, drink and lunch. If your child’s camp includes swim time, also bring a swimsuit and towel. ALL campers should wear weather-appropriate, comfortable play clothes and have sunscreen applied before leaving home. • To expedite the check-in process, make copies of your child’s forms for each camp/each week. Forms are not transferred from one camp to another and can be downloaded at https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/ camps • Does your child need medication during the camp day? Be sure to complete the Medication Authorization Form at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/camps • Is swimming part of your child’s camp? If so, there may be substitute activities when Rec Center pools close for maintenance and/or cleaning. Contact the site directly for details. • Several camps require signed waivers for participation. If you want to request review of the waivers prior to registering, email us at camps@fairfaxcounty.gov • Host-a-Coach Program: we are always looking for families who would like to host an international soccer coach for a week during the summer. In turn for hosting, families earn a free week of Challenger International Soccer Camp. For application and details, visit https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/camps • It is important to register early! Camps that do not meet minimum requirements for enrollment may be canceled.
