2024 Summer Adventure Program
🌞 Join us for an unforgettable 8-week (June 24-August 16) Summer Adventure Program, where kids going into grades K-6 will embark on a journey filled with excitement, learning, and new friendships! 🚀

At MKA, every day is packed with fun and enriching activities. Plus, we've got your child's meals covered with daily breakfasts, snacks, and lunches provided!

The program is held primarily at Crescent Park Elementary School with some off-campus events. Please note, Crescent Park is a NUT-FREE school and we adhere to this rule over the summer. If you choose to send your child in with their own lunch, make sure it is nut-free.

Exciting opportunities await our campers! Campers will swim at local swimming locations such as Angevine Pond and the Sunday River on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday afternoons. Wednesdays are reserved for thrilling field trips to following locations: 

June 26- MKA's Summer Olympics 
July 3- Yurt Exploration & Buck's Ledge Walk (grades K-3), Wheeler Mines (grades 4-6)
July 10- TBD 
July 17- TBD
July 24- TBD
July 31- TBD
August 7- TBD
August 14- TBD

*Please note, we are closed Thursday July 4th and Friday July 5th for the holiday.

*Due to a bussing shortage, most of our field trips are listed as TBD. Do not fear, we have incredible adventures to share with you soon! 

Our program runs from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, with early care (7:00-7:50 am) and late care (4:15 to 5:30 pm) available for an additional $10 fee for both.  
*Please note, there is no late care on Fridays. 

The daily fee for MKA's Summer Adventure Program is $40.00. Worried about finances? Don't be! We offer payment plans and scholarships upon request. Additionally, we offer discounts for siblings when they attend on the same days. 

Remember to pack your camper's gear labeled with their name for all types of weather, including swimsuits, rain jackets, and sturdy sneakers. If there are any barriers to obtaining appropriate gear, just let us know – we're here to help!

Hiking and mountain biking adventures are in store for certain grades on designated days, with more details coming soon. Additionally, more information regarding swimming lessons is coming soon.

🌟 Join us in the cafeteria for drop-off and pick-up, and let the adventure begin!  Register now to secure your child's spot in the Summer Adventure of a lifetime! 🎉

Essential Eligibility Criteria 

We strive to provide programming that is enjoyable for as many children as possible. In all we do, health and safety are paramount. As such, we need to recognize the limitations of our facility, program, and staff. Below is a list of Essential Eligibility Criteria deemed necessary for participation.

No Show Policy

You will be charged for the days you sign up for, even if your child does not attend.

Note: This policy and procedure are designed to ensure efficient enrollment, payment processing, and adequate staffing for our programs. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, please contact us.

If a child is picked up after closing time, families will be charged $10.00 per child for every 10 minutes after closing time, or part thereof. Repeated late pick-up may result in a child’s dismissal from the program.
Illness Policy
Children can return to MKA after 24 hours without symptoms and no fever reducers. If your child gets sick during MKA, we will call you to pick your child up within 30 minutes. We are required to send home campers who display fevers of 99.0 F or above.

NON-DISCRIMINATION STATEMENT 

Mahoosuc Kids Association does not discriminate against employees or participants on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, age, or disability in accordance with all federal and state laws related to nondiscrimination. 

ANTI-DISCRIMINATION POLICY (STATEMENT OF INCLUSION)

It is our policy to serve all children to the best of our ability while functioning within our state guided child/adult ratios. We will work with reasonable accommodations to include all children with and without special needs in our program. We work with other agencies, such as, Center for Community Inclusion and Child Development Services, to help all children to be successful in our program. Enrollment is available to any child when there is an opening. 

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES 

To ensure equal opportunity for children with disabilities, Mahoosuc Kids Association will provide reasonable accommodations and/or make reasonable modifications to its policies, practices and procedures, to the extent required by law and where such accommodations or modifications would not pose an undue administrative or financial hardship or fundamentally alter the nature of the services provided by the program. If parents are seeking specific accommodations or modifications on behalf of a child with a disability, or if they have concerns or questions about whether their child will be able to benefit from the program, they should bring such matters to the attention of the Director as soon as possible. The Director may ask parents to provide necessary medical and other documentation regarding the nature of the child's disability and the accommodation or modification sought. Because of the additional time that may be required to request and receive information from specialist agencies and medical providers, parents should bring any request for accommodation to the attention of the Director well in advance of the start of the program to ensure that a decision can be made prior to the start of the program. It is important to note that all enrollment documents must be completed before any such consideration process can begin.
