Summer Camp: The Recreation Summer Program runs for 8 weeks in the summer.  During this time the youth will experience a wide variety of activities. Once a week they will have a bus trip, everyday there will be walking trips to local businesses to learn what the City of Mustang has to offer. The youth will participate in organized sports, arts & crafts, free play and much more. The youth will be swimming at the Mustang Aquatics Center approximately three times per week. A swim test will be conducted to determine the location where your child will be allowed to swim. Each week will revolve around a theme. Morning and afternoon snacks and most all excursions are included at no extra cost. A sack lunch, a re-fillable water bottle and sunscreen will need to be brought to camp every day.

 

Camp is for making new friends. Please do not ask that your child be put in the same group as a friend. There is no guarantee that friends will be put in the same group. 

 

This Summer Camp is a weekly camp and the prices reflect weekly fees.  The Parks & Recreation Department does not Pro-Rate fees for partial days your child(ren) attend.  There is no special rates for only attending 1, 2, 3 or 4 days per week.  The weekly fees pay for your child's counselor, field trips, guest speakers, entrances into the  pool and supplies. Please do not ask for staff to reduce the weekly fee to accommodate you and your child's schedule.

 

Requirements: The child(ren) attending camp must have just completed Kindergarten through the Fifth grade of the school year just completed. A copy of immunization records must be turned in with registration forms. Only custodial parents/guardians can register their child(ren) up for the camp. If there is a court ordered file for custody of the child(ren), a copy must accompany the registration forms. All Camp Mustang Parents/Guardians who sign a child up for camp must attend a Mandatory Parents Meeting scheduled for meeting, if your child's last name is: A - L will be held on May 24th, if your child's last name is: M-Z the meeting will be held on May 26th the time is from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. the meeting has ended earlier in the past, we are allowing extra time for any new parents with questions).
