Summer of fun awaits at Noblesville Parks’ Noble Kids Camp

The Noblesville Parks and Recreation staff is looking to build on the success of the annual Noble Kids Camp and will continue to offer all-day summer camps and preschool camps in June and July as options for Noblesville parents and children.

“Camp is one of the best ways to spend your summer, making new friends, seeing old ones, playing games and creating memories. We are excited to have another great lineup of themes planned for this summer and can’t wait to spend time with your child,” said Amber Mink, recreation program coordinator.

Similar to previous years, the two camp host sites – Dr. James A. Dillon Park, 6001 Edenshall Lane; and Forest Park, 701 Cicero Road – will offer the same themes and similar programming making it more convenient for parents and transportation. Summer camps are available for ages 6 to 12.

All-day camps run 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pricing is the same as last year with one week of summer camp costing Noblesville residents $125 ($155 for non-residents). Another option for parents is before and/or after care available starting at 7 a.m. and running until 6 p.m. Before care is $10 and after care is $15 for the week.

“The themes and options of Noble Kids Camp provide an abundant mixture of enjoyment, physical activity, education and social interaction in the safe environments of our parks and under the watchful eye of our highly trained counselors,” Noblesville Parks Director Brandon Bennett said.

Dillon Park will offer one additional camp the week of July 29. Only Forest Park campers will have the option to swim at the Forest Park Aquatic Center once a week. Campers will have to take a swim test to be permitted to be in the lap pool. Campers will have lifeguards and will swim with a few counselors. All other campers will remain at the splash pad.
