Howell Recreation Summer Day Camp Barnard Community Center and Howell City Park The Howell Area Parks & Recreation Authority is gearing up for some outrageous outdoor fun and excitement this summer! Ten full weeks of Summer Day Camp are packed with a variety of activities and non-stop excitement to keep kids age 5 through 12 active and engaged. Bring your friends and meet new ones while participating in fun and creative activities like sports, games, swimming, archery, fishing, computers, team work skills, cookouts, nature study, music, drama, arts and crafts, game room, and special community outings. New camp themes begin each week and we place special emphasis on character development (caring, honesty, respect and responsibility) rolling it into every activity. Campers will start and end each day at Barnard Community Center in downtown Howell and participate in daily activities at Howell City Park and Thompson Lake. We’ll spend a good portion of the day at the beach playing in the sand and water, weather permitting. Campers need to bring their own lunch and drink but we’ll have healthy snacks to keep their energy up throughout the day. Howell Recreation Summer Day Camp offers you the opportunity to enroll your kids for the entire summer or pick the weeks that work best for you. Camp will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. Working parents also have the option to purchase just the Base Camp or purchase the Base Camp with an AM and/or PM extender. Our mature counselors and staff are carefully selected, trained, screened and have outgoing and caring personalities. Low ratios ensure that kids receive personal attention from their professional role models. Space is limited, register today! Join us as we create lifetime memories and lasting friendships!
