Required Open House Meeting for Upcoming Summer Day Camp Program

The Waynesville Parks and Recreation Department’s Base Camp will host several required open house meetings for upcoming day camp programs on Feb. 23, 25, 29, and March 2, 8 and 15. There will be two sessions on each date at 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. at the Waynesville Recreation Center. Parents of all potential campers must attend one of these sessions.

This open house will allow parents/caregivers the opportunity to make an informed decision about their child’s participation in upcoming day camp programs, as well as providing information regarding the camp schedule and curriculum plans.

“The overall goal of our open house is to explain what we can offer to each child,” said Tim Petrea, program supervisor at Waynesville Parks and Recreation Department. “There will be a pre-screening process for each potential camp participant in order to ensure that we are capable of meeting each child’s needs. All day camp programs operate between a one to eight or one to 10 counselor to camper ratio. There will also be numerous outdoor activities.”

There will be a great deal of physical exercise involved in the summer camps.

“The open house is a good opportunity to explain our product,” said Petrea. “When parents entrust us with the care of their child, we know that the primary concerns are safety and whether the child is having fun. Our goal is to provide the safest and happiest experience for our participants. We want parents to think of us as partners in their child’s well being. The better prepared the staff is before camp, the better we can help their children be successful once they are here.”

For more information, call the Waynesville Parks and Recreation Department at 456-2030 or email tpetrea@waynesvillenc.gov.
