Day School. With the permission of parents and help from our volunteer coaches we may take participants to run on the ACT trails and Eastern Trail from the Arundel Town Hall along with looking at other smooth running surfaces locally to take participants for a run. There may be a option of using the track at Kennebunk High School when high school & middle school track & field teams have an away meet. If this option becomes available, Tyler Bernaiche will update parents a week prior. Coach Missy and I are also looking into the possibility of finding a local race or running event for the children to participate in.

Oftentimes the larger amusement parks offer very little for young children who may not meet height requirements for rides, and the older kids can withstand a much longer day playing in the sun that the little ones can.  We will gear field trips toward places that these youngsters will get more out of...we are thinking places like the Children's Museum, and maybe shorter stints at amusement parks that have more to offer for littles.  In order to participate, children must be fully potty-trained, no longer napping, and must be able to be held accountable and meet behavior requirements.  A personality that enjoys group activities, being physically active, and playing with friends for extended periods of time would do best in our Summer Rec environment. Children must be able to be responsible for themselves physically and must be able to communicate needs to a staff made up of some teens/young adults.

Oftentimes the larger amusement parks offer very little for young children who may not meet height requirements for rides, and the older kids can withstand a much longer day playing in the sun that the little ones can.  We will gear field trips toward places that these youngsters will get more out of...we are thinking places like the Children's Museum, and maybe shorter stints at amusement parks that have more to offer for littles.  In order to participate, children must be fully potty-trained, no longer napping, and must be able to be held accountable and meet behavior requirements.  A personality that enjoys group activities, being physically active, and playing with friends for extended periods of time would do best in our Summer Rec environment. Children must be able to be responsible for themselves physically and must be able to communicate needs to a staff made up of some teens/young adults. If you have questions about the program, the environment, or if you are wondering if it would be appropriate for your child (at any age), feel free to call the office and speak with Jenn (207) 286-9241.This age group will be limited to 12 spots, and we will prioritize those who have been relying on us this school year for their Before and/or After School childcare first before opening up the registration to other Arundel residents. REGISTRATION INFORMATION:  Last year, our Summer Rec program was FULL soon after the registration period opened.

Oftentimes the larger amusement parks offer very little for young children who may not meet height requirements for rides, and the older kids can withstand a much longer day playing in the sun that the little ones can.  We will gear field trips toward places that these youngsters will get more out of...we are thinking places like the Children's Museum, and maybe shorter stints at amusement parks that have more to offer for littles.  In order to participate, children must be fully potty-trained, no longer napping, and must be able to be held accountable and meet behavior requirements.  A personality that enjoys group activities, being physically active, and playing with friends for extended periods of time would do best in our Summer Rec environment. Children must be able to be responsible for themselves physically and must be able to communicate needs to a staff made up of some teens/young adults.

Oftentimes the larger amusement parks offer very little for young children who may not meet height requirements for rides, and the older kids can withstand a much longer day playing in the sun that the little ones can.  We will gear field trips toward places that these youngsters will get more out of...we are thinking places like the Children's Museum, and maybe shorter stints at amusement parks that have more to offer for littles.  In order to participate, children must be fully potty-trained, no longer napping, and must be able to be held accountable and meet behavior requirements.  A personality that enjoys group activities, being physically active, and playing with friends for extended periods of time would do best in our Summer Rec environment. Children must be able to be responsible for themselves physically and must be able to communicate needs to a staff made up of some teens/young adults. If you have questions about the program, the environment, or if you are wondering if it would be appropriate for your child (at any age), feel free to call the office and speak with Jenn (207) 286-9241.This age group will be limited to 12 spots, and we will prioritize those who have been relying on us this school year for their Before and/or After School childcare first before opening up the registration to other Arundel residents. REGISTRATION INFORMATION:  Last year, our Summer Rec program was FULL soon after the registration period opened. Please note that you are encouraged to register and pay the non-refundable $100 deposit to register (don't wait!), however if your child's specific age group is full, you will be notified on the next business day (Monday through Thursday).  We will refund the deposit if we are unable to accommodate your child.  A minimum of $100 must be paid at the time of registration in order to secure a spot, and it is NON-REFUNDABLE unless the Rec Department is unable to accommodate your child.  Other than the $100 deposit, all other fees are refundable if a refund is requested prior to May 15.  After May 15, fees are not refundable. PAYMENT INFORMATION:  A non-refundable $100 deposit is needed to initially register each child.  Payments in any amount can be paid from mid-January through May 15, but your balance must be paid in full by Wednesday, May 15, 2025 in order to secure your child's spot in the program.  There are 17 weeks during the registration period.  We encourage families to plan your payments accordingly in order to have your balance paid in full by the 5/15 deadline...there are no refunds/credits after the 5/15 deadline.  Scholarship requests will not be considered after 5/1/2026.  Please plan ahead.

Oftentimes the larger amusement parks offer very little for young children who may not meet height requirements for rides, and the older kids can withstand a much longer day playing in the sun that the little ones can.  We will gear field trips toward places that these youngsters will get more out of...we are thinking places like the Children's Museum, and maybe shorter stints at amusement parks that have more to offer for littles.  In order to participate, children must be fully potty-trained, no longer napping, and must be able to be held accountable and meet behavior requirements.  A personality that enjoys group activities, being physically active, and playing with friends for extended periods of time would do best in our Summer Rec environment. Children must be able to be responsible for themselves physically and must be able to communicate needs to a staff made up of some teens/young adults.

The program will run Monday-Thursday (Closed Fridays) with the hope that we'll have consistent staff members working with this group every day throughout the 8 week session.  This group will have the mini-bus to use for age-appropriate field trips offered 1-2 times per week, depending on how the group does with trips.  This age group will be capped at 14 spots. Oftentimes the larger amusement parks offer very little for young children who may not meet height requirements for rides, and the older kids can withstand a much longer day playing in the sun that the little ones can.  We will gear field trips toward places that these youngsters will get more out of...we are thinking places like the Children's Museum, and maybe shorter stints at amusement parks that have more to offer for littles.  In order to participate, children must be fully potty-trained, no longer napping, and must be able to be held accountable and meet behavior requirements.  A personality that enjoys group activities, being physically active, and playing with friends for extended periods of time would do best in our Summer Rec environment. Children must be able to be responsible for themselves physically and must be able to communicate needs to a staff made up of some teens/young adults. If you have questions about the program, the environment, or if you are wondering if it would be appropriate for your child (at any age), feel free to call the office and speak with Jenn (207) 286-9241.This age group will be limited to 12 spots, and we will prioritize those who have been relying on us this school year for their Before and/or After School childcare first before opening up the registration to other Arundel residents. REGISTRATION INFORMATION:  Last year, our Summer Rec program was FULL soon after the registration period opened. Please note that you are encouraged to register and pay the non-refundable $100 deposit to register (don't wait!), however if your child's specific age group is full, you will be notified on the next business day (Monday through Thursday).  We will refund the deposit if we are unable to accommodate your child.  A minimum of $100 must be paid at the time of registration in order to secure a spot, and it is NON-REFUNDABLE unless the Rec Department is unable to accommodate your child.  Other than the $100 deposit, all other fees are refundable if a refund is requested prior to May 15.  After May 15, fees are not refundable.
