Starting on Thursday, June 24th, the Hamlin Recreation Department will once again offer its Summer Discovery Camp in a limited capacity to children who have completed Kindergarten through 6th grade.
Free from academic demands, kids learn in different ways in the summer!
We’ll focus on their curiosity and their limitless imagination to help them develop their play space for the summer. We have an entire park at our disposal for fun activities and there will be time for traditional activities such as arts & crafts, field games, kite flying, and loads of other surprises.
Breakfast & an afternoon snack will be provided!
Every day each camper will need to bring:
Lunch (bagged/boxed - no prep required from staff!)
Swimsuit & Towel (and a plastic bag with which to take home wet items)
A water bottle
A sun hat or cap
Sneakers (or any other type of closed toe shoe)
Water sandals or flip-flops
2 face masks fitted for the child's face size*

Join us again this summer for Hamlin Recreation’s Discovery Camp. It’s going to be a blast!
*- Due to ongoing health concerns regarding the current Covid-19 crisis, we will not be going on any field trips this year nor will we be inviting guest presentations to the Camp this summer.
- Children will not be required to wear masks all the time, but may be required some times.
- Extra staff will be on hand to make it possible for us to perform daily health checks along with a myriad of other safety and sanitation protocols.
- Parents will be sent a Camp packet after registration which will inform them of all instructions, safety measures, and procedures.
- Prior to attendance, parents will be required to submit the most recent copy of their child's vaccination record as well as a completed Authorized Pick-Up/Emergency Info sheet (this will be included in the Camp packet you will be sent).
The Hamlin Recreation Staff will work hard to provide a safe, fun, and interesting camp experience for your child this summer!
