Frequently Asked Questions:
Which camp do I sign up for?
There are three options this summer!
Second is Extreme Explorer Summer Camp:
This Camp is for kids 11-14 years of age. Kids will go on four
field trips a week and spend the 1, 2, 4 or 8 week sessions doing arts and
crafts, playing sports, and having lots of fun! This option runs from June 9
through August 1,
depending on how many weeks you register for. This year we are looking at
having a community service aspect to the 5th day of camp. Please contact
Dawn Stipe if you have any input on this.
Please be aware of the "Pre-Camp Week." Boulder Valley gets out of school before Adams 12, so we added a week of camp at the beginning of the summer. Kids will do the same activities as in regular camp, however registration will be smaller.
What do you do at Aspen Creek?
Kids are broken up into groups by
age and rotate to different activity stations. One rotation includes a variety
of activities for kids to do. Favorites last summer were playing sports
outside, freeze dance in the cafeteria, scooters in the gym, and art in the home
economics room. What do I need for the Parent’s Meeting? The Parent Meeting will be at the Broomfield Community Center on Wednesday, May 21 from 6:00-7:00 p.m. Please bring your completed paperwork to the parents meeting and any questions you still have after reading the parent’s manual. According to licensing, the Parent's meeting is MANDATORY. Parents will also be given the first week’s newsletter and the first week’s detailed schedule at the meeting.
What is the staff like?
All staff has been through a thorough background check in accordance to Colorado
Child Care Licensing Standards. Further, staff is trained and certified in CPR,
first aid, and Universal Precautions. Staff also has a week long Camp Explorer
specific training including how to be an effective supervisor on field trips, at
The Bay, and the Paul Derda Recreation center. Staff attends weekly meeting to
address any concerns and review special needs for certain campers. The
Directors are college graduates and many of our staff team are currently in
college. What do you have for parents who only need a few days a week?: Camp Explorer registration can only be broken down to per week sessions. There is no option for daily registration. It is encouraged for parents to look at the pricing of their specific camp and break it down per hour in order to decide if Camp Explorer is still a reasonable option. For example: As a Resident child in Youth Summer Camp, the average child spends 9 hours at camp per day. If a child is enrolled in the 8 week session and attends 5 days per week cost per hour is: $2.63/hr. 8 weeks, 4 days/week: $3.28/hour 8 weeks, 3 days/week: $4.37/hour 8 weeks, 2 day/week: $6.56/hour
When do my kids need to be dropped off and picked up? Our hours of operation are 7am-6pm at Aspen Creek K-8. All drop-off and pick-up is at Aspen Creek. Mondays and Fridays campers may be signed in and out at anytime throughout the day. On Tuesdays we ask the campers to be signed in by 12:30 pm in order to load the bus for The Paul Derda Recreation Center. On Thursdays we ask kids to be signed in by 10:15 to load the bus for The Bay. On Wednesday, we typically leave between 9-10 am. We would like the kids at Aspen Creek at least 30 minutes prior to departure. Please check the weekly calendars for exact times. We are typically back from all trips by 4pm, on Bay days we are back by 3:15. If you need to pick up or drop off your child at The Bay or Recreation Center please remember to see the Director on site to fill out the sign in & out sheets.
How do I register? Stop in or call in to either Center, or register online with e-connect. If you wish to sign up for payment plans you must register at the front desk or by phone.
