This summer we are glad to offer Camp Anne Arundel (CAA) for children entering Grades 1-6. CAA features full-day camps in two-week sessions at various locations throughout the County. This program takes the place of the former “Summer Fun Center” (full-day, eight-week camp) as well as the former Summer School Age Child Care (SACC) one-week offerings. Our hope is that Camp Anne Arundel (CAA) will offer your family the flexibility it needs. Each two-week session will include one field trip and various on-site themes and activities. Register for all four sessions, or just a few! No partial sessions will be sold. Non-refundable deposit of $50/session due at time of registration. Non-refundable deposits are applied towards the total program cost and are NOT an additional fee.

Full Payment DueSession #1 June 24 – July 3: May 28, 2019Session #2 July 8 – July 19: June 10, 2019Session #3 July 22 – August 2: June 24, 2019Session #4 August 5 – August 16: July 8, 2019

Camp Hours:7:00 am – 3:00 pm3:00 pm – 6:00 pm Extended Care Option for an additional $85 per two-week session ($70 for Session #1)

Registration for ALL camps is first-come, first-served. Some camps do fill up quickly, and registration for one week or session does not guarantee or give priority of registration to other session(s).

Eligibility Requirements:• Child must be entering Grades 1-6 in Fall 2019. You may be required

to present proof of age at any time.

• Every child must have state-mandated camp forms completed and on-file at the site on the first day of attendance. Forms will be available on the Recreation and Parks website at least one month prior to the start of camp. Paperwork for current SACC participants will not be copied/transferred by Recreation and Parks. It is the responsibility of the parent/caregiver to bring completed forms to the site on the first day of camp.

• Every child must be toilet trained. This means that he/she is self-directed and self-sufficient in the restroom and able to care for his/her own hygiene needs.

Refund Policy:• There is a $50 non-refundable fee for each Camp Anne Arundel

(CAA) two-week session and various other non-refundable fees for other programs that are indicated at the time of registration.

• Refund requests must be made in writing for all summer camp refunds and transfers, with 10 business days’ notice required before the start of each program. When you enroll in the program, you are reserving the time, space, staffing, and provisions, regardless of whether your child attends, therefore no partial-session refunds will be honored.

• Current SACC participants may not use school year account funds to pay for summer camps, nor can refunds be applied to SACC school year accounts.

• Refund requests for medical reasons must be accompanied with a physician’s note, and are handled on a case-by-case basis.

In cooperation with Anne Arundel County Public Schools Food

and Nutrition, we will be participating in the Summer Food Program at various locations including: Glendale

ES, North Arundel Aquatic Center, Lothian CAA, Marley CAA

and Quiet Waters Day Camp.

Third Party/Agency Payments: An authentic promissory note must be received at the time of registration, alongside a registration form that has been completed by the parent or legal guardian. The promissory note must be on the agency’s letterhead, and clearly state participant’s name, program name and number, cost covered by the agency, and other information.

Refund requests must be made in writing for all summer camp refunds and transfers, with 10 business days’ notice required before the start of each program. When you enroll in the program, you are reserving the time, space, staffing, and provisions, regardless of whether your child attends, therefore no partial-session refunds will be honored.
