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.For children entering Kindergarten in the fall of 2026 (14 spots total):    We offer something a little bit different for this age group in order to better meet the developmental needs of our littles.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

This recreation-based program is designed for children who are: Fully toilet trained No longer in need of daytime naps Able to participate safely and independently in a group setting Able to communicate their needs to staff Able to understand and follow directions Able to treat others safely and respectfully and refrain from physical aggression Able to take responsibility for their actions Able to follow program and safety rules within a 12:1 child-to-staff ratio Comfortable being physically and socially active with their elementary school-aged peers Please note that this program is not appropriate for every child. In particular, some Pre-K and Kindergarten students may be overwhelmed by the transition to school or may not yet be developmentally ready for the level of independence and responsibility expected in the program.  If it is determined that the program is not a good fit for your child, you will be notified and alternative arrangements will need to be made.
