Spring Break Camp
Spring Break Camp will be held at Slauson Middle School, 1019 W. Washington, Ann Arbor 48103
Spring Break Camp will be IN PERSON and the
AAPS COVID & Health Guidance will be followed.
PLEASE NOTE: Typically Rec & Ed offers full-day camp options during Spring Break. Unfortunately, this year our full-day camp vendor experienced an unexpected staff shortage just as we were about to publicize the camps, and we were not able to replace this vendor on short notice.
Due to staffing limitations, if you register your child for both a morning camp and an afternoon camp, Rec & Ed staff will not be available to provide supervision between 12-1 pm. You (or someone on your authorized pick-up list) will need to check your child out at 12 noon and check them back in again at 1 pm.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and look forward to providing full-day camp options during future spring breaks.

HALF DAY AM CAMP
Grades: K - 2nd. The fairies and gnomes from Phantasia are in trouble! Rising sea levels forced them to move out of the houses they built on the seashore, so we invited them to live in our community. But since they’re used to a different kind of house, we need to learn about them before building their new houses. In this exciting art camp, we’ll think together about what makes a house a home and how we can minimize waste by building houses with repurposed materials. Then, we’ll use recycled materials to create the perfect home for our fairy or gnome friend! What will your fairy or gnome house look like? All supplies are included (including a sketchbook). Instructors: Doodles Academy Staff.
