At the Larry R. Walkup Aquatic Center (2760 Canyon Road).  Registration is done on a first come / first serve basis.

Bear Camp's Mission is to "provide participants with a safe, quality experience which awakens new interests, promotes new skills, creates cultural awareness, and forges new freindships."  Bear Camp does this by offering crafts, games, hiking, field trips and swimming.

Bear Camp counselors are one of the camp's chief strengths!  Great effort goes into the hiring and training of camp counselors who are capable, attentive, fun, and creative.  A Camp Coordinator, an Assistant Camp Coordinator, and nine camp counselors staff Bear Camp.  That is a staff-to-child ratio of 9:1!  Camp staff is certified in First Aid and CPR, and all have completed background checks.

DATES:    June 1 to August 13, 2010 (11 Weeks)

FEES:      1st Child: $130.00 / Week      Each Additional Child: $120.00 / Week
