Day camp registration begins on Monday, May 1, 2023. To register, visit us online.
We offer day camp on PA days. To register for a PA day camp, visit us online.
Since 2008, we have been proud to offer summer day camp for children aged 4 to 12 years at the Vollmer Culture and Recreation Complex. We have developed a unique summer experience for your child. Our facility, which is situated on 200 acres of land, includes a splash pad and accessible playground, ice rinks, an indoor wave pool and water slide, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, trails, a retention pond, event amphitheatre and more. Our mission statement is to provide a safe, healthy and friendly environment for children to have fun while developing life skills such as teamwork, friendship, respect, problem solving and creativity.
All camp participants are enrolled into the age-appropriate group at registration. Participants are separated by age category for supervision, safety and age-related programming. Although there are separate groups, the entire camp may interact briefly with each other throughout the day or week.
Kinder Camp (ages 4 - 5) |
All campers aged 4 and 5 years will join our kinder camp. This camp is separate from the rest of our camp and focuses on age-appropriate games and activities. Our kinder camp is situated in the Multipurpose Room A, across from Rink B. |
Camp (ages 6 - 12) |
Campers will have the opportunity to create art projects, participate in science experiments and engage in DPA (Daily Physical Activity) every day! Our campers will be participating in outdoor and indoor activities located on the Vollmer complex grounds including swimming indoors each day. Our camp will be divided into 3 age groups to ensure age-appropriate games and activities.

ePACT |
ePACT is a secure, online system used to collect and safely store participant information such as age, allergies, medical conditions, emergency contact information and approved pick-up contacts. This information is digital and will be used by authorized staff to access important medical and pick up information. We will no longer accept paper consent forms. Upon registration in camp, the parent/guardian will be sent an invitation through email to enroll with ePACT. This is mandatory and must be completed prior to attending camp. No exceptions to this rule will be made. Parents/guardians can upload photos of their child and their approved pick-up contacts directly to ePACT. |
Special Event Days |
This year, we are bringing special events, experiences and guests to us for our onsite field trip days. Below is the schedule, which is subject to change.

Supervision Ratios |
Our supervision ratios below ensure safety of all participants. Often, these ratios are the basic minimum as we often provide additional staff for supervision.

Snack and Lunch Time |
Our camps are nut-free. Any nut products found during our lunch bag inspection will be removed and returned to the parent at the end of the day. If you are sending a peanut-substitute product such as sun butter or wow butter, please label it as such to avoid it being removed. Please communicate with your child not to share food or accept food from other campers. Please send your child to camp with enough snacks for two snack breaks (morning and afternoon), a lunch, drinks and water. If your child is receiving a lunch purchased through our lunch ticket program, you must still send your child with snacks and beverages for the rest of the day. Do you want to stop worrying about what to make your camper for lunch? We have got you covered with a varied meal plan! Available at our day camps your child can enjoy a delicious meal form Monday to Friday. Lunch Ticket Program
