Keep your kids busy this summer at...
Bridgeton Day Camp 2016
Program
An outdoor adventure awaits kids ages 5-12 at Bridgeton
Day Camp! The 6-week program runs from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.,
Monday through Friday. Camp is based in Gentry Park.
Campers participate in active, exciting programming,
including one field trip per session and swimming at
Bridgeton Crossing Family Aquatic Park 2-3 afternoons
per week. Crafts, games, sports, songs and other activities round out a typical day at camp.
Registration
The camper’s parent or legal guardian must register in person at the Bridgeton Recreation Center. If this is your first
time enrolling in Bridgeton Day Camp, please bring a copy
of his/her birth certificate with you when you register.
The camper and his/her parent/guardian must have a current Bridgeton Parks and Recreation ID to receive resident
rates. You will also need to bring the names and phone
numbers of emergency contacts. Registration begins Friday,
April 15 and closes the Monday prior to the beginning of
each session, or when the session is filled. Don’t wait to
register--once a session is full, no more campers will be accepted! You will receive a Parents’ Guide with more information at the time of registration.
Reminder: Registration CLOSES the
Monday prior to the start of each
session, or when the session is filled!
NO exceptions will be made.
Staff
Day Camp staff are local high school and
college students, many of whom are
Bridgeton Day Camp alumni. All staff
goes through an extensive interview
and a background check. During staff
week, they receive training in child
development, behavior management/modification, bullying prevention, leadership and programming. All
staff are certified in American Red Cross
First Aid and administrative staff are also
certified in child and adult CPR. Camp administrative
staff are full-time teachers and educators.
Extended Care
Both programs take place in the cool comfort of the
Recreation Center. A snack is provided in Afternoon

up shortly after camp registration begins. Register early

2016 Teen Camp
Program
Our camp is for teens ages 12-15 who don’t want to spend their summer sitting on
the couch! Campers get to meet new friends and explore St. Louis through field
trips and activities. There are four sessions of
camp and each will be different, so you can
sign up for all of them.
Teen Camp meets each morning at the
Bridgeton Community Center, and runs
three days a week, Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with
an occasional extended day for long field
trips such as Six Flags. Each week wil consist of two field trip days and one on-site
day which includes swimming at Bridgeton
Crossing. By popular demand, two of the four weeks will include Six Flags trips.
Camp calendars with the full field trip schedule are e-mailed
to registered participants as soon as they
are finalized.
Registration
If your child has not attended a Bridgeton summer camp before, please bring a
copy of his/her birth certificate with you
when you register. You will also want to
bring emergency contact names and phone numbers to complete the registration form. Due to the nature of the program, each session will
have a maximum of 21 participants. Registration closes two Mondays prior to the
start of each session, or when the session is filled.

a.m.-5 p.m.). Register for both sessions 2 and 4 and save
$10/session, and your camper will receive a Six Flags season
pass. The season pass will be issued at the time of registration and the cost of this pass is non-refundable regardless

Sessions may be cancelled if minimum enrollment is not met
by registration closing date.
Teen Camp Q & A
What types of trips does Teen Camp take? In the past (these are not necessarily
the trips/activities for 2016!), we’ve gone places like SkyZone, Chesterfield Sports
Fusion, The Loop, Epic 6, Demolition Ball and Swing Around Fun Town. We typically
visit 2-4 teen-friendly restaurants (lunch is included on those days).
Why is Teen Camp so expensive? Teen Camp goes on some field trips that are
quite expensive; we also travel by charter bus on our trips, which makes the base
price of the camp much higher than Day Camp. If you add up the costs of field trip
admissions, presenters, staff, and transportation, you’ll find that you get your money’s worth!
Splash Camp
August 1-5, 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
Ages 7-12
Registraton closes on July 18; program may be cancelled if minimum enrollment is not met
Does your camper love the pool? Join us for one extra week of camp where we focus solely on water games, activities and pool time. There will be special activities such as water volleyball, pool relay
races, water olympics and land-based games with water as well! We’ll swim every day of the week
(weather permitting), spending time at Bridgeton Crossing, Aquaport, and a special pool field trip
on Thursday or Friday. Camp will be staffed by Bridgeton Day Camp staff members and registration
policies and procedures are the same as they are for our other camps.
