Camps
Begin in June at Eight Clark County
Recreation Centers
Clark
County Parks and Recreation’s summer RecTrek camps
offer children ages 6-12 an alternative to becoming a
summer couch potato with activities at eight recreation
centers across the Las Vegas Valley. Children who are
age 5 and have completed kindergarten also are accepted.
Mail-in
registration for RecTrek begins March 30 with walk-in
registrations accepted starting April 9. RecTrek camps
operate weekdays from June 11 through Aug. 24. Cost is
$14 per day or $65 weekly. There is a 50 percent
discount on the third child if three children from one
family are enrolled for a full week. Online registration
is not available for RecTrek, but parents can pay with a
credit card at their local RecTrek site.
Payment
in full confirms a child’s place at camp. If a child
will be attending more than two full weeks
consecutively, parents can reserve a spot by paying for
the first two weeks. Remaining payments are due by 6
p.m. each Wednesday for the following week. The spot
will not be held if payment is not received by the
deadline.
During
RecTrek camps, children participate in arts and crafts,
special themed projects, sports, games and field trips
along with performing skits, watching movies and
conducting science projects. Occasional field trips are
offered for an additional fee. Children should bring
lunch and snacks that don’t need heating or
refrigeration. Every child will be required to complete
a swim test prior to participation in any swimming
activities, which will be announced in advance at each
location. A swim test certificate is available at any
Clark County pool.
