7. 1st and 2nd Grade Campers: Sunscreen and Hat
Our 1st & 2nd Grade Summer Camps are located at the West Orange Church of Christ, where students will have access to a spacious outdoor grass field for games and activities. We intentionally build outdoor play into each day so campers can run, move, and enjoy that classic summer camp experience.
Since students will be spending time outside playing games and participating in field activities, we recommend they wear or bring a hat and come with sunscreen applied (and packed if they need to reapply) to stay comfortable and protected during outdoor time.
Thank you for helping your camper come prepared!
