Oxford Parks and Recreation is now accepting registrations for its two summer day camp programs which are offered to Oxford children who have completed grades K through 8.
The ​“Huskies” day camp, for grades K through 5, will once again run for six weeks starting Monday, July 9. The hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an option for ​“before care” from 7:30 to 9 a.m.
You can sign up for any of the weeks at the price of $110 per week or for all six weeks for $610. Before Care is an additional $25 per week. Huskies Camp will be held four days each week at Colonial Tavern and one day a week at Posypanko Park.
Activities include arts and crafts, sports and games, swimming, various trips, entertainers and lots of fun! Lunch is included on the four Colonial Tavern days. Each week of Huskies Camp a main theme will be incorporated into many of the week’s programs and activities.
We are also accepting registrations for The OPR Teen Travel Camp for kids who have completed 5th through 8th grades. Please note, children who have completed 5th grade can chose to go to either the Huskies camp or the Teen Travel Camp.
The Travel Camp runs Monday through Thursday each week starting July 9. The first three days, we travel to a different destination for the day. Some trips may include: Bowling and Pizza, Brownstone Adventure Park, Nomad’s Adventure Quest, Sherwood Island Beach, Laser Tag, Whirly Ball, Trampoline Place, Splashdown Beach, etc. Each Thursday, we’ll go to Colonial Tavern for a pool party with a DJ spinning the fun tunes.
Travel Camp starts at 9:00 each morning and ends between 3:00 and 4:00 each afternoon. Lunch is included at least two days each week.
The cost for Travel Camp is also $110 per week ($630 for all six weeks), and you can register for any or all weeks. Before Care is available for Travel Camp for an additional $20 per week.
Register for either of our great summer camps by May 24 to guarantee your child’s space and to get the best price! From May 24 to June 1, a late fee of $25 per child will be assessed. For the Travel Camp, we will accept only 55 kids per week.
We will continue to accept registrations up to one week in advance of any week ONLY if there is still room and with the $25 late fee. No registrations will be accepted at all for Huskies Camp if postmarked or delivered after June 1.
