This Week in Recreation: May 18, 2022

Important: Summer Fun Day Camp Age Requirement Change

Child Care Licensing has recently brought to our attention a change in legislation: children entering Kindergarten in September are not allowed in unlicensed summer camps.

The NRRM Summer Fun program is an unlicensed day camp. All staff in licensed programs must be at least 19 years of age and the NRRM day camps are led by staff as young as 16 years old.

We are disappointed about this change and not being able to meet the needs of families with children going into Kindergarten. We have looked hard for other options and exceptions with Child Care Licensing, but unfortunately, we can only allow children turning 6 by December 31.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and hope to see your child the year they are entering grade 1.

Thank you for your understanding. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions.

Happy long-weekend! We have reduced pool hours on Friday, May 20 and closed all day Monday, May 23.
