ARPD Programs follow all State and County Health protocols. 

2025 SUMMER TENDERFOOT CAMP
An Introductory Day Camp Experience For Ages 3 to 5 Years

 2025 Tenderfoot Camp

Join us for an introductory day camp experience. We will meet at Lower Washington Park (near the Tennis Courts) and then walk to either Robert Crown Beach or up to Washington Park to begin our day.

Camp experiences will include making crafts, storytelling, games and songs...all based on a weekly theme! Campers will also be designing their own camp shirts to take home. We'll hike to Crab Cove to look for crabs and other sea life that lives at the Cove.  Other walking field trips may be planned.
