Final week – 2010

Camp has come to an end for this summer…but we hope to see you next summer.

We have enjoyed the children tremendously!

Thank you to the 2010 families for giving us the opportunity to be part of your children’s summer fun.
The children have done lots and lots of swimming.  They have bowled, roller skated, Happy Tymed, climbed, went on tubes down the banana slide, slid on the body slide, saw a movie or two, visited the Phillie’s stadium, learned how to spend money in the snack bar (which helps with their math skills)…. etc, etc, etc.
But most of all they have played. Then they played more, and then they played even more. They met lots of new friends, connected with old friends, and played some more.
They used their imagination and creativity, played games indoors and out, invented their own games, spent LOTS of time inside and outside in the mornings and making full use of the great 11 acres of the swim club in the afternoons.
Our aim was to provide a casual, carefree setting that would allow your child to socially interact with other children and to be free to just be.
We wish you all a happy school year!

See you next summer!

Love,

* Your child NEEDS to bring a bathing suit, towel, and SUNSCREEN every day. Pack these items even if the weather looks threatening because the weather may change and, if it does, we will go to the swim club.

* Please be sure your child always has a pair of socks in his/her backpack in case the weather causes us to make last minute adjustments and take a trip to a place that requires socks. Just keep a pair in a zip lock bag, labeled with your child’s name, in your child’s backpack to be ready for a rainy day.

* We supply a morning and an afternoon snack but your child will need to bring a lunch or money to buy lunch.

* You may drop your child off starting at 7:30 am but PLEASE, no later than 10:30 am if you are dropping off at The Crefeld School. We must have our daily attendance finalized by then in order to leave promptly at 11:00 AM.

  • We return to The Crefeld School at approximately 5:20 PM daily. You may pick up your child between 5:20 and 6:00PM.

Fun in the Sun’s late pick-up policy: There is a late fee  of $1.00 a minute for late pick-up in the afternoon. If you arrive after 6:00 pm to pick up your child, please pay the person that is waiting with your child.

Please visit our website/blog often since news and photos go up several times a week.

We are also trying to make it easy on Monday mornings so parents don’t have to stand in line very long. Go to forms and click on Payment form. Fill the form out and insert in an envelope with your check and pool money. Also add the snack money for your child if you want us to hold it. This way you can just drop off the envelope and not stand in line.

In case you have forgotten the form but still would like to leave more easily/quickly, there will also be envelopes and forms available at the “desk” at Crefeld.  Just fill one out and you’re done.

Testimonial

This is the first year of Fun in the Sun for our kids – it came highly recommended as an affordable camp where kids can just relax, make new friends, and play! Their school year is so structured and it’s wonderful that Fun in the Sun provides an opportunity for a different kind of growth.

I’ve noticed how happy Grant and Sydney are to get up and get ready for camp in the morning (this is no small feat!) so in addition to their saying it, we know they love this camp.

Elisabeth Hadden
Mother of Grant & Sydney

Fun in the Sun reminds me of my best summer days from childhood. My boys play hard all day with good friends. They hang at the swimming pool. This is where they both learned to swim in fact. Getting their high dive bands is cause for celebration each June. At Fun in the Sun they feel free to play sports, make beautiful art, perform, and most importantly relax and enjoy just being kids. I trust the staff implicitly to put their safety first. Just as important I know they are appreciated and known and cared for as individuals. I cannot imagine a summer without Fun in the Sun and neither can my children.
