Kids + No School = Day Camp at the Rec’ Center!

Campers and water fun at County Farm ParkDid you know that Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation offers day camp opportunities for children throughout the year? The Meri Lou Murray Recreation Center hosts a day camp over winter break, another week for spring break and a six week day camp during the summer.  The Recreation Center staff also host one very special week every summer for youth who must deal with educational or physical deficits.

A recent email to Parks & Recreation Director Bob Tetens shows just how much these programs are meeting needs of families in our community: “Thank you!  Look for my kids again this summer.  Your program is the best by far, and your staff is amazing!  Thanks for offering such a great program (and even at a price I can afford,)”

Program activities include arts, crafts, games, sports, swimming (3 days in pool & 1 day each at Rolling Hills Water Park and Independence Lake), nature programs and special events.

  • Program Eligibility: Children who have completed Kindergarten through 11 years of age
  • Program Hours: 9:15 AM - 4:15 PM. Before care and after care available as well (available for one hour before and one hour after camp).
  • Costs: $110.00 per week (includes a reusable lunch bag and t-shirt)

Registration for summer Day Camp begins Tuesday, April 1, 2008.  You can get more information at the Meri Lou Murray Recreation Center Home Page, or just call (734) 971-6355, option 0.
