fees for children who could otherwise not
participate due to financial hardship. Please
help us ensure that all children in Arlington have
a fun, engaging and asset-building summer.
Contribute to a child’s summer adventures by
donating during the registration process

 Qualified Staff Make it Happen
Camp and playground counselors are special people. PRCR staff must love working with
young people (or we won’t hire them)! They are creative, enthusiastic, committed and sincere...
plus super-patient and loads of fun. In fact, many of Arlington’s camp and playground counselors
have been campers themselves, often in the programs they now direct. A lot of our committed staff
are schoolteachers, college students or college graduates who hope to find a permanent job working
with kids. They’re a talented and merry bunch, each with much experience in their specialty areas.
All are committed to helping each child be the best he or she can be. Toward that end, Arlington
County invests heavily in staff training and development. In addition to meeting the qualifications
for their position, all summer staff attend mandatory training that focuses on promoting positive
participation; creative expression; cooperative and adaptive games; heart-healthy and wellness
activities; risk management and safety; child protective services; procedures and policies; planning
activities; positive and productive scheduling; and developing welcoming spaces.

Arlington Camps for All Abilities
As part of our inclusion philosophy, youth with disabilities are welcome to register for any programs of
interest. We have designated Fairlington and Lubber Run Tot camps, McKinley Elementary Summerfest
and Teen Summer Express as sites that receive additional services. These sites have a lower camp
maximum, lower staff to camper ratio and additional training for staff on program modifications,
behavior management and inclusion of individuals with disabilities. Also check our TR Camps on page 14.
Everyone benefits from Arlington County programs. Trained therapeutic recreation staff can assist you
in making sure your child has the right support and accommodations, no matter the special needs. To
ensure that all participants have an enjoyable, safe and successful experience, we will, upon request,
provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities. This includes, but is not limited to,
adapted equipment and techniques, sign language interpreters, accessible facilities, and large print and
Braille materials. Parents should know it may sometimes be necessary to change a camper’s placement
if the support, assistance and accommodation necessary for participation can best be provided at an
alternate site. Contact the Therapeutic Recreation Office at 703-228-4740 or TTY 703-228-4743 for
more information.
Camps for all Ages and Interests
Throughout the AC Summer Camp Catalog you’ll find camps for kids of all ages and abilities.
To ensure fun, be sure to select a camp that not only meets your child’s interests, but also is
age and skill appropriate. See the chart on page 5 for age-appropriate camps.
• Camps for Preschoolers (page 6) allow little ones to stretch their wings and grow in a
safe, nurturing environment.
• Elementary kids will find camps throughout all the camp categories…check out the
options. Some camps offer great day-care options while others are short, sweet and quite
the treat!
• Camps for children with special needs are listed on page 14. We have designated Fairlington
and Lubber Run Tot Camps, McKinley Summerfest and Summer Express as sites that will
have a lower camp maximum, lower staff-to-participant ratio and additional training for
staff on program modifications, behavior management and inclusion of individuals with
disabilities. That said, you can request accommodations in all our camps.
• Teens who are engaged over the summer have the most success during the school year…
and in life. Arlington offers classic, sports, arts and overnight camps for teens. Your teen
may also enhance leadership skills by volunteering or enrolling in the award-winning
T.E.A.M. program. Another option is to check out the Junior Jam programs at various
centers. For more, refer to our Teen section on page 13, and remember that teens can
participate in many of the camps listed throughout the catalog!

What You Wanna Do this Summer?

There’s Something for Everyone in Arlington County!
Ready, set, Summer!!! A break from school, a chance for new experiences, a springboard to grow
mentally, physically and socially. Whether your child wants to refine a sports skill, go rafting, be in a
play, play mind-adventure games, learn magic….or just plain hang, Arlington has something to offer.

✹ Classic Camps (page 6) offer a variety of programming options, both structured and unstructured, that include art, sports, trips
and more.

✹ Overnight Camps (page 6) combine classic camp, nature/adventure camp and sleepover.
✹ Nature & Adventure Camps (page 7) are for kids who love the outdoors and want to learn about and enjoy nature…and
maybe stretch their limits with challenges such as canoeing, caving and more.

✹ Creative Arts Camps (page 8) give kids dozens of ways to express themselves through painting, drama, pottery, music
and more!

✹ Sports Camps (page 9) entice the sports enthusiast who enjoys every sport in a sport combo camp, or allow a specialist (or
would-be specialist!) to learn or refine skills in a specific sport camp such as basketball or tennis.

✹ Imagination & Exploration Camps (page 14) include some new camps! We’re thrilled to offer these camps, which
bring kids with special interests in science, magic, history and imagination strategy games together.

Don’t Let Cost Deter Your Summer Fun! Arlington values its children and is committed to making sure all our children have access to fun and
fulfilling summer programs. Camp registration fees are adjusted based on household size and income, just like the school lunch program. Fee
reductions are on a sliding scale based on household income and size. For reduced fee qualifications and procedures go to www.arlingtonva.us/prcr,
call 703-228-4747 or go to a customer service desk at Thomas Jefferson Center, Barcroft Sports & Fitness Center or 3700 South Four Mile Run Dr.

Smolinski (from Williamsburg Middle School) bring
a combined 23 years of Ultimate experience and
have taken players to state and national champion-
ships. Newer players will work on individual skills
like throwing, catching and cutting, and basic
offensive and defensive strategy. More experienced
players will work on advanced team skills like
stacking, forcing, zone and specific fitness prin-
ciples essential for Ultimate. Most importantly all
campers will get instruction and practice with life
skills such as self-officiating, conflict resolution and
social responsibility. Each participant will receive
a shirt, official Ultimate disc and great instruction!

Therapeutic
Recreation
Camps
Arlington County maintains a philosophy of
inclusion whereby youth with disabilities are
welcome to register for any program. However,
we have designated Fairlington and Lubber Run
Tot camps, McKinley Elementary Summerfest
and Teen Summer Express as sites that receive
additional services. These sites have a lower
camp maximum, lower staff to camper ratio
and additional training for staff on program
modifications, behavior management and inclu-
sion of individuals with disabilities
Everyone who enrolls in Adventure Quest,
Camp Discovery, or requests inclusion support
through the Therapeutic Recreation Office
must complete an Accommodation Packet in
addition to the registration forms on page 19
and 20. The Therapeutic Recreation Offfice
will send the Accommodation Packet once your
child is registered. Information provided in
the Accommodation Packet enables PRCR to
plan a successful experience for each camper,
regardless of ability. Every effort is made to
involve campers in recreation programs that
best suit their interests and abilities. Note: the
Therapeutic Recreation Office reserves the
right to reassign campers if staff determines
the camper would be served more effectively in
another program.

Volunteer! Guidelines for Great

Arlington loves volunteers!
If you are 13 or older, please join hundreds of other energetic and committed Arlingtonians and
have fun while contributing your talents to the community. We need your support to assist staff
with general interest, special interest and therapeutic recreation camps (volunteers are placed
only at camps operated by the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources, not in
contract camps). Volunteers take a leadership role in all the fun and exciting activities campers
enjoy, including field trips, arts and crafts, swimming, sing-alongs, games and much more!
Whether you are seeking a personal or professional development opportunity or simply have a
desire to work with young people, volunteering can be extremely rewarding. It is an opportunity
to make friends, work with children in a supervised recreational setting and gain valuable
experience in a leadership role. Remember, in order to become a paid Student Assistant in
Arlington County camps, you must have been a volunteer with us for at least one summer. PRCR
is not able to hire all of our volunteers, but we will not hire anyone in an entry-level position
who has not been a volunteer.
Volunteer Opportunities
• Volunteers must be at least 13 and at least two years older than the oldest camper in the
program at which they are placed.
• Volunteers are not placed where they were campers the previous year or where their family
members are current campers.
• Volunteers must work for four weeks (they do not have to be consecutive weeks except in
camps that have two-week sessions). It may be possible to work additional weeks.
• Volunteers must work core program hours. Working more than the core hours is determined
by the needs of the site. No one may volunteer more than eight hours a day.
• The goal is to place volunteers near their home and in the programs of their choice. However,
we can’t guarantee placements.

Ready to Apply? Call 703-228-4730 to request an application form and interview or go to

acomodar las primeras y segundas elecciones. Si no hay vacantes
disponibles, usted podrá solicitar un lugar en una lista de espera.
Imprima en línea las confirmaciones de inscripción usando Adobe
Acrobat 6.0. Se enviará por correo una confirmación de inscripción
en el campamento a todos los campistas luego de recibir toda la
documentación y el pago. El código de horas extendidas tiene los

a la C (por campamento central). No todos los campamentos
brindan un Horario Extendido. Por favor no llame por teléfono para
solicitar confirmaciones ni cambios a la inscripción antes del 15
de abril. Para obtener más información, remítase a Cambios en la
Inscripción y Reembolsos en esta página. Toda la documentación
requerida deberá recibirse antes del 9 de junio o los campistas
no quedarán inscritos y se otorgará su lugar a la próxima persona
en la Lista de Espera. Las inscripciones se aceptarán hasta
una semana antes de la fecha de comienzo del campamento
si hubiera vacantes disponibles. Respecto de las inscripciones
tardías, se deberán entregar todos los documentos en la Oficina
de Inscripciones con anterioridad a la semana previa al inicio de la
sesión de campamentos.

pagar en su totalidad antes del 9 de junio. Los hogares que
tengan un saldo deudor deberán cancelar dicho monto antes de
inscribir a su niño en los campamentos.
• Se aplicarán descuentos hasta 75% en los aranceles para
los residentes que califiquen. (Ver Asistencia financiera a
continuación)

Servicios Humanos del Condado de Arlington, como también las
personas que se encuentren por debajo del umbral de los límites
de ingresos actuales de la Sección 8 de HUD serán elegibles
para obtener una tarifa reducida hasta 75% de descuento en los
campamentos. Se requiere un comprobante de ingresos anuales.
Nuestra oficina de inscripciones puede brindarle opciones para
que el costo no sea un factor que le impida mantener a su niño
seguro, involucrado y lleno de alegría durante este verano. Para
más información, llame a la oficina de inscripciones al 703-
228-4747 o visite la mesa de servicio al cliente en uno de estos
sitios: Oficina de Inscripciones (3700 South Four Mile Run Dr.),
Centro Comunitario Thomas Jefferson (3501 S. 2nd. St.) o Centro
Deportivo “Barcroft Sports and Fitness Center” (4200 S. Four Mile
Run Dr.)
Cambios en la inscripción
Los cambios en la inscripción a los campamentos PRCR (tales
como cancelaciones, traslados o reembolsos) deberán realizarse
a través de la Oficina de Inscripciones PRCR luego del 15 de
abril; no espere a que comience el campamento ni solicite al
personal del campamento o del centro de recreación que procese
los cambios. Únicamente se respetarán los cambios confirmados
y escritos que se lleven a cabo por medio de la Oficina de
Inscripciones. Conserve su número de confirmación como referen-
cia cuando pregunte sobre los cambios, traslados o reembolsos.
Reembolsos

Mande a un niño a un campamento… ¡Por favor!
En el 2004, PRCR creó el Fondo de Verano para la Diversión con
el fin de poder pagar la inscripción y las excursiones para niños
que de otra forma no podrían participar debido a dificultades
económicas. Por favor, ayúdenos a garantizar que todos los niños
de Arlington pasen un verano divertido y entretenido y que a la
vez desarrollen valores. Contribuya con las aventuras de verano de
un niño mediante una donación durante el proceso de inscripción
o en el Formulario de Inscripción a Campamentos de Verano
Arlington County.
Algo para todos los gustos
El periodo de verano ha sido diseñado para darles a los niños un
descanso de la escuela y para ayudarlos a experimentar cosas
nuevas y a crecer mental, física y socialmente. Ya sea que su
hijo desee refinar sus habilidades en algún deporte, actuar en
una obra, realizar juegos de destreza mental, aprender magia…o
simplemente pasar el tiempo, Arlington tiene algo que ofrecerle.
Los campamentos clásicos (página 5) ofrecen varias opciones
de programas, estructurados y desestructurados, que incluyen
artes, deportes, excursiones y más.
Los campamentos de naturaleza, aventura e historia
(página 7) son para los niños que aman el aire libre y desean
aprender sobre la naturaleza y disfrutarla...y quizá ampliar sus
límites y desafíos, tales como piragüismo, espeleología entre otras.
Los campamentos de Noche (página 6 son un combo entre un
campamento clásico, un campamento de naturaleza y aventura y
además se pasa la noche fuera de la casa.
Los campamentos de artes creativos (página 9) vienen
en todas las formas y tamaños; para los que quieren aprender a
pintar un cuadro, actuar en una obra, crear una vasija, cantar una
canción y ¡mucho más!
Los campamentos de imaginación y exploración (página
14) son una nueva clase de campamentos que generan intereses
especiales en los niños en relación con la ciencia, la magia, la
historia y los juegos de estrategia imaginativa en conjunto.
Los campamentos deportivos (página 9) están disponibles
para los más deportistas y a quienes les gustan todos los deportes
de los campamentos con combo deportivo o para los campistas
que quieren aprender o refinar sus habilidades en un deporte
específico, tal como el baloncesto o el tenis.
Los centros de puertas abiertas “Junior Jam” (cuadro
de la derecha) son programas basados en centros comunitarios
para aquellos que buscan programas flexibles de medio día que
mantengan ocupados a los niños.
Campamentos para todas las edades y habilidades
En el Catálogo de Campamentos de Verano del Condado de Arlington
encontrará campamentos para los niños de todas las edades y
habilidades. Asegúrese de escoger un campamento que no sólo
satisfaga los intereses de su hijo, sino que también sea adecuado
para su edad/habilidad. Observe el cuadro de la página 14 para ver
los campamentos adecuados según la edad. Los campamentos para
niños de edad preescolar (página 6) son campamentos diseñados
específicamente para niños en esa etapa de desarrollo. Los niños de
edad elemental encontrarán campamentos en todas las categorías
de campamentos…consulte las opciones. Algunos campamentos
ofrecen opciones de cuidado diurno.
Campistas con discapacidades
Los campamentos para niños con necesidades especiales se
encuentran en la página 14. Hemos designado a los Campamentos
para Pequeños de Fairlington y Lubber Run, McKinley Summerfest
y Summer Teen Express como sitios que tendrán un menor
número de campistas, una proporción más alta entre personal
y participantes y capacitación adicional para el personal sobre
modificaciones de los programas, control de comportamientos
e inclusión de las personas con discapacidades. El personal
terapéutico y recreacionista (TR) está capacitado para asegurar
que su hijo/a tenga el apoyo y el alojamiento apropiado.
Los padres y tutores deberán solicitar acomodaciones como
mínimo con dos semanas de anticipación a la sesión del programa
en la Oficina de Recreación Terapéutica (703-228-4740) si el
niño/a necesita recordatorios frecuentes para participar, seguir
instrucciones o permanecer con el grupo; si necesita ayuda para
vestirse, comer o ir al baño; o si tiene dificultades para controlar
su ira. Por favor, indique esta situación en el formulario de
Información sobre los Participantes del Campamento/Registro
de Emergencias. Esta información es esencial a fin de brindar
las acomodaciones necesarias para que todos los participantes
tengan éxito en el programa elegido. El alojamiento que brindamos

Campamentos y Programas Para Jóvenes
Los adolescentes que están ocupados durante el verano tienen
mayor éxito durante el año escolar…y en la vida. Arlington ofrece
campamentos clásicos, deportivos, artísticos y nocturnos para los
adolescentes. Los adolescentes también podrán incrementar sus
habilidades de liderazgo mediante el voluntariado o la inscripción
en el programa TEAM (página 13). Otra opción es consultar los
programas Junior Jam que se realizan en diferentes centros
(página 13).

El “Jam” es para los adolescentes y pre-adolescentes que ya tienen actividades programadas para
el verano, pero que igualmente quieren disfrutar de actividades de verano, tales como los deportes,
la natación, la música, las artes, los juegos en grupo y los torneos. Los adolescentes participan en
actividades planificadas, excursiones y eventos especiales. Tenga en cuenta que si bien se alienta
a los adolescentes a que permanezcan en el lugar donde se está llevando a cabo el campamento,
este es un programa de puertas abiertas que les permite a los adolescentes entrar y salir cuando
quieran. Se recomienda que para los jóvenes que necesiten mayor supervisión, se consideren los
programas de campamento que requieren la autorización de los padres para retirarse durante el
horario del programa.
