Summer Camps

Payment Plan Option

(w/Automatic Credit Card Billing) To utilize our Payment Plan option, prior to enrolling your child into camp, you must complete an Automatic Credit Card Billing Authorization Form. How the Payment Plan option works: • Pay for your child’s first week of camp in full and also pay a non-refundable $25 payment for each additional week for which you’d like to enroll. • The remaining balance must be received in full at least one week prior to each enrolled week of camp. • If payments are not made by 5:00 p.m. each Monday before your child’s enrolled week of camp begins, the full amount will be charged to the credit card on file.

We encourage you to only enroll for weeks you plan to attend, as you are holding a valuable spot.

Did You Know We Offer Camp Combos?

You can add variety to your child’s summer by combining two half-day camps. Register for a morning camp (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.), then choose an afternoon camp (1 to 5 p.m.) for a full day of fun!

Camp Combo: $150 / $172 non-residents. Week 3 Combo: $120 / $142 non-resident. Some Camp Combos require parents to transport your camper to the next camp – transportation is not provided to or from the Arcata Skate Park or Arcata Marsh.

Extended Care

At no extra charge, you can drop off your camper as early as 8:00 a.m. for morning camps (7:30 a.m. for Redwood Day Camp) and pick up your camper as late as 5:30 p.m. for afternoon camps. A late fee may be required if your camper is not picked up by 5:30 p.m.

Arcata Forest Projects Be a Volunteer Trail Steward!

Volunteer Trail Stewards (VTS) is a grassroots program of the Humboldt Trails Council (www.humtrails. org). Stewards serve as community eyes and ears whenever they are out walking, running or riding the trail. Stewards also call in safety hazards, pick up litter and report camping or inappropriate use, but are not the police. In addition, about once a month Stewards host a Saturday morning work session where volunteers work with City staff on a trail project. This may be brushing back a section of trail, rebuilding a wash-out, removing exotic plants or improving signage. No prior experience or tools are required; the only qualification is willingness. For more information or to volunteer email hughes@humboldt.edu.

Volunteer at a Workday! The City of Arcata invites the community and community groups to assist with stewardship of Arcata’s natural resources and join the Environmental Services Department at its Saturday volunteer work days! Though some workdays highlight specific partner groups, all volunteer work days are open to anyone (all ages) interested in participating. • Saturday workdays run from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., with lunch provided. • Workday dates and location are subject to change – contact Darius Damonte at: (707) 825-2105 or ddamonte@cityofarcata.org for information on meeting locations. • Prior to work, there will be a safety talk and tool-use instruction and volunteers must sign a liability release. • Volunteers should wear work clothes (long sleeves and pants recommend) and sturdy, closed-toed shoes.

Looking for More Volunteer Opportunities??

Join the Valley West - Clean the Sidewalk Days! Scheduled every 1st Sunday of the month, from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. Volunteers meet at Valley West Park on Hallen Drive. Contact Janelle Classen at janelleclassen@gmail.com for more information!

Zero Waste Action Plan The City of Arcata has adopted a Zero Waste Action Plan to help reduce waste generated in the City as much as possible. The City is asking renters to consider using the City-provided dishware and/or use rental dishes and linens. Should you choose to use the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dishware, we will provide you with the information needed to properly clean and put away the dishes for the next user. The City can also provide you with contact information on reusable dish and linen rental businesses. The City has banned the use of Styrofoam dishware citywide and single use water bottles inside city facilities. If you choose to use throwaway dishware it cannot be Styrofoam. City facilities have sinks, drinking fountains and/or water filling stations as well as reusable pitchers and glassware. Thank you for helping us prevent waste in Arcata.
