Newtown Parks and Recreation offers multiple day camp experiences for kids ages 4-17!
Treadwell & Dickinson Day Camps (Ages 4-12)
Newtown Parks and Recreation Day Camps will provide your child with the Best Summer Ever!
Daily activities are designed to enhance each camper’s competence, connections, character, confidence and in the long term, their individual contribution to our community. One of the ways in which we achieve these goals is by providing challenging activities in both small and large group settings. In addition to swimming, sports and other traditional outdoor camp activities, we provide experiences that connect campers to the natural environment of our town parks.
Camp staff is chosen carefully and trained to provide campers with a fun and supportive atmosphere. Our staff members facilitate an environment where campers can learn new skills, make friends, and most importantly develop self-confidence. Newtown Parks and Recreation’s Summer Day Camps provide the opportunity for your child to feel safe, run, sing, laugh and grow.
Throughout the day, campers will participate in a variety of activities. Activities include the following:
- Sports
- Arts and Crafts, Music
- Skateboard Lessons (Dickinson only)
- Swimming (Treadwell only)
- Water Slide (Dickinson only)
- Tuesday Tunes Live Summer Concerts on select weeks (Dickinson only, 2-3pm)
