Summerama is back and ready for
an awesome summer! Join us as we travel overseas and explore Ancient
Egypt. Summerama Director Josh Afram will be joined by Assistant
Directors Cherice Jensen and David McDonald to be your tour guides for
an exciting summer of fun in the sun! We will be playing all your
favorite Summerama games (and show you some new ones as well) and you
are sure to find a camp that fits your child with nineteen different
camps to choose from. You'll need to bring a lunch everyday (we'll
provide plenty to drink!), but if you love hot dogs, chips, and
lemonade, then leave your lunch at home on Thursdays (aka Hot Dog Day)
when all the food is on us! Our flight leaves soon, do not miss out on
our exciting adventures in 2008 at Summerama Along the Nile!
Summerama is an all-day program,
(10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) for children entering 2nd - 6th grade in the
fall. Extended care is available from 7:30 a.m. before camp and after
camp until 5:30 p.m. The cost of camp is $60.00 per week. Each week is
special and exciting because you get to choose your own activities. So
register for one, two, or all of the weeks!
Leading the way for KinderCamp
and Tot-A-Rama, our programs for our younger travelers, will be
Director Teresa Hubbard. This year, you can enjoy three weeks of
KinderCamp (9:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.) and two weeks of Tot-A-Rama (9:30
a.m. - 11:30 a.m.). If you have any questions about these activities,
please call us at (815) 877-7046.
Pack your things and get ready
for a summer full of fun, sun, and surprises that are sure to make
Summerama Along the Nile the most memorable Summerama yet!

ATTENTION PARENTS:
Children can not register for the same limited enrollment camp more than
one time this summer. Example: Sally can sign up for Week 2 of Spirit
Squad but will not be able to sign up for Week 3 or 4 of Spirit Squad.
This gives more children opportunities to participate in limited
enrollment camps. However, on Monday morning during registration outside,
you may double check to see if a limited enrollment camp has openings. If
your child has already participated in this limited enrollment camp once,
but there is an opening on the Monday of that week of camp, they will be
allowed to immediately switch their camp registration at the registration
table.
