Our Philosophy

The philosophy of the RecPlex Summer Day Camp is to provide a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable experience for all participants. Campers will grow and thrive through all the exhilarating activities we have to offer. Gaining independence, making lifelong friendships, and discovering hidden talents are the core goals of our camp. Campers will acquire new skills, feel valued for who they are, and develop a sense of belonging.

About Us

Staff and Ratios
The key ingredient to a fun and positive summer camp experience is our professionally trained and enthusiastic staff. We take pride that we have several returning staff members each year, some even previous campers themselves. Our staff undergoes training including (but not limited to) CPR/ First Aid, Child Abuse and Neglect, Emergency Procedures, Behavioral Management, Discipline Policy, Beach, Pool and Ice-Skating Safety, Field Trip Procedures and Parent Communication.

A majority of our staff are college aged students who are passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of every camper who is in our summer camp. We look for individuals who have had previous experience working with children and who are also focusing on a concentration in college that pertains to children, childcare or recreation.

The RecPlex Summer Day Camp has the following ratios:
Ages 5-6 years old: 1 to 7 ratio
Ages 7-9 years old: 1 to 8 ratio
Ages 9-11 years old: 1 to 10 ratio

In addition to a Youth Services Manager, who oversees the camp, there is a Youth Services Assistant Manager, Youth Services Coordinator and up to 4 Lead Counselors who manage and oversee the day-to-day operations of the RecPlex Summer Camp.
