Noblesville Parks and Recreation staff will offer all-day summer camps and half-day preschool camps in June and July as options for Noblesville parents and children. Each week provides a new theme for children ages 6 to 11 to enjoy being outdoors, active, learning and interacting with their peers in the safe environments of Noblesville Parks.
“Camp is one of the most exciting ways to spend your summer – making new friends, staying active, playing games, exploring creativity and creating memories. We are excited to have another great lineup of themes planned for this summer,” said Kaitlyn Smith, 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. Forest Park campers will have the option to swim at the Forest Park Aquatic Center once a week. Dillon Park campers visit the park’s splash pad at least once a week.
All-day camps run 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the weekly cost is $135 for Noblesville residents ($165 for non-residents). Another option for parents is before and/or after care available starting at 7:30 a.m. and running until 6 p.m. Before care is $10 and after care is $25 for the week.
