Summer Camps Important information for all camps

• If there is not a specific registration deadline listed, registration will close at 5:00 PM on the Thursday prior to the Monday of camp, or once the camp is full, whichever comes first. Space is limited to a first come, first served basis. Registration after the stated deadline is based on Supervisor approval. • If the camp is full, you will be placed on a waiting list and contacted if space becomes available. Camp fees are a flat rate and are not pro-rated for days not attended. • Requests for refunds and transfers must be received by Thursday at 10:00 AM prior to the camp start date. Please check dates closely. Should you request a refund or transfer after the deadline has passed, we will make every effort to fill your space. If we are able to fill your space, you will receive a full refund. Unfortunately, we are unable to make any exceptions unless valid emergency or medical documentation can be provided. • What if my child needs special help to participate in a camp? We are happy to work with those who have special needs to ensure equal access to our recreation programs. Please visit our website at https://www.chicorec.com/forms-and-parentresources to learn more about our accommodation process.

CARD ONLY ADMINISTERS EMERGENCY LIFE-SAVING MEDICATION

If your child may need such medication, required paperwork must be returned to CARD at least two (2) business days prior to the start of camp. The medication administration packet is available on the CARD website at www.chicorec.com/ registration-forms.

Participant Expectations: • Be Safe (stay with the group, keep hands and feet to themselves, etc.) • Be Respectful (listen, follow directions, use appropriate language, etc.)

Participant Readiness: Is your child ready for camp?

• Be Responsible (use the restroom independently/no bathroom accidents, keep track of personal items, etc.)

Questions to Consider: • Can they meet the Participant Expectations? • Are they able to stay with the group and not run away when upset or overwhelmed? Our programs maintain set ratios and are not designed for one on one care. • Is your child overwhelmed with loud noises? Programs can be loud at times. • Is your child comfortable when you are not present? • Does your child warm up to new situations with new people?

Online Camps In this fun series of Scratch Junior classes, we introduce students to the Scratch Junior platform. We will create a series of animations and games while learning about core coding concepts. For example, your child will learn loops, messaging, how to capture events in a game to take action, and a lot more. We will go from simple projects with different characters working independently, to connecting characters with complex actions. Your child will also get to apply their artistic skills to create their own sprites, tell stories, and share their math and science knowledge. Instructor: Create and Learn

NEW Roblox Coding Camp For students who already have some experiences with block based coding systems such as Scratch, Roblox Studio is a great next step. Here, through a combination of configuring and scripting/coding, your child can create their own game world using the built-in 3D design tool and coding the interactions with the world. Coding is done via Lua, a scripting language that is relatively easy to use. The course starts from simple coding concepts such as loop and conditional to get students familiar with the text-based coding, and gradually goes deeper to more advanced concepts such as variables, arrays, and more. It is entirely project based as we will be building fun games throughout. Instructor: Create and Learn

NEW Minecraft Coding Camp In these carefully designed classes, we cover a broad set of coding concepts. We start by introducing kids to the very basic concepts of stacking commands together to make computers accomplishing tasks - the fundamentals of coding. Kids will control agents to solve puzzles while interacting with different ingame characters. We will then move on to learn core coding concepts such as loop, operations, conditional, events, function, variables, and more. As students get more comfortable with these coding skills, they will also start building more complex structures as well as minigames through coding. With our inquiry-based approach, your kids will have plenty of opportunities to not only learn but create! Instructor: Create and Learn
