WRA Kids Activities
The Waynewood Recreation Association provides a number of youth-oriented activities for children of all ages during the summer months. These programs are conducted on the WRA grounds and provide an excellent opportunity for our youth membership. Camps include:
- Soccer Camp – NEW for summer 2010: Register your children, ages 3-8, for soccer fun at the Waynewood Rec field. Excite Soccer will be running two 5-day mini camps for the WRA membership. Participants will be grouped by age and each day’s activities will include lots of fun games created to make each player more confident when in possession of the soccer ball. All campers should bring a water bottle and small snack. Excite Soccer will provide the soccer balls and other equipment. Cost is $120 per week, $220 for both weeks, and includes a reward at the end of the week. The dates and times for the camps are as follows:
Week 1: July 12-16, 9-11 a.m.
Week 2: July 19-23, 9-11 a.m. - Sandbox Tots: This is a fun 4-day camp aimed at the preschool set. Christina Johnson, who has run the program before, will be the Camp Director for summer 2010! Counselors take the kids through a fun-filled week of arts and crafts, story-time, music, and physical activities focusing on a different theme each day. The camps are held at the WRA park and playground (no pool or swimming). The camps are open to children ages 3-5 that are potty trained. The cost is $70/child, payable to the WRA. The cost includes all supplies and snacks. There will be a 4:1 ratio of kids to energetic counselors in order to ensure safety. The dates and times for the camps are as follows:
Week 1: July 12-15, 9-12 a.m.
Week 2: July 19-22, 9-12 a.m. - Basketball Camp: If you know of someone who could be our basketball coach for summer 2010, please contact the Special Events Chair.

Birthday Parties: Members may use the picnic grounds for birthday parties and other family events. The picnic tables are first-come, first-served. If your group will be larger than 20, or if you intend to use the pool, you will need to fill out a reservation request. Instructions and the forms can be found on the Field and Facilities Reservation page. If you plan to use the pool, you will need to pay the $2 guest fee for each non-member guest (check must be written by a WRA member). Please keep food, decorations, and party activities outside the pool area, at the picnic tables. If you have questions about your event, please contact the Vice President.
