Half-Day Summer Camp Program in Battery Park grows to 10 weeks.
Once again this year the City of New Castle is partnering with New Castle County to offer a Half-Day Summer Camp Program right here in Battery Park. Campers will enjoy supervised games, fitness and nature activities, and more! It has been such a success that it is growing to 10 a week program. This camp offers an opportunity for children to participate in a fun-filled morning program at Battery Park. It is open to all children between the ages of 5 and 12 who reside within the City limits.
A nutritious breakfast and lunch from the Colonial School District Nutrition Program is served each day at camp and is free of charge. This is an outdoor camp; campers will need to arrive with sunscreen applied and appropriate clothing and sneakers. In case of extreme inclement weather, campers will seek shelter in the New Castle Presbyterian Church located at 25 East 2nd Street, New Castle.
Registration Form*
Registration forms are also available at the City Administration office, 220 Delaware Street.
