Summer Parks Program 2025

SUMMERPARKS W.Ladybug (2).png

Goals/Mission:

To provide a nature—and play-based camp that inspires artistic discovery and altruism, instills confidence and collaboration, and fosters a love for the parks of Fulton County and the environment around us.

CONNECT

Campers and camp leaders connect as a camp and in teams as they participate in park activities, community explorations, and service activities.

COLLABORATE

Campers and leaders collaborate during community explorations, service activities, and various field-game competitions to earn awards for kindness, gratitude, and leadership.

CREATE

Through nature and community-inspired art campers and leaders learn how to create using their imaginations.

CAMP INFORMATION

Camper Ages: 6-12 - $25 per week. Deduct 5% for each additional child.

Camper Registration: Runs from February to July until all spaces are taken. 

Camp Leaders: Sophomores-College Graduates

The Summer Parks Program has always been designed to bring children and young adults together through a structured environment where they explore together. Any child who has completed kindergarten through grade 6 may attend, and we hope to register 110-116 campers this year.  

​

We are looking to hire 12-16 high school leaders/camp counselors to lead each group through daily activities and adventures around Rochester. The camp runs from June 10th to 28th and July 7-19,  M-F, and 7:30 AM-12:30 PM. (This is our first time offering July, so enrollment will determine hours for these two weeks. We have an aggressive marketing campaign planned for recruiting enrollment and are very optimistic July will be just as successful as other years in June.)

DONATE

Camper Scholarship: 

Though we work hard to keep the weekly cost down, we still want to be able to offer access to all children, especially those from families where the cost is prohibitive. By donating to the scholarship fund, you will help us reach our goal of being able to offer all children a spot at camp regardless of financial hardship.

 

Educational Materials, Community Experiences, /Carnival Activities: 

All materials costs are covered through the community via grants and fundraisers. This allows us to keep the cost of the camp down and makes it more affordable for all children.
