The sooner you register the more likely you will get the spot you want. Registrations will be processed to accommodate first and second choices. If an opening is not available, you can be placed on the wait list. Arlington County class coordinators use waitlists to make decisions, and the County process many cancellations throughout the summer; therefore, there is a good chance that you obtain a spot if you are placed on a waitlist early. Please do not call registration to ask the likelihood to obtain a spot; waitlist enrollments depend on the number of enrollees that cancel their spot. You can check your place in the waitlist by login in to your account online (registration.arlingtonva.us) and selecting “My Account,” “Print Household Roster,” and Submit.

Por favor, ayúdenos a garantizar que todos los niños de Arlington pasen un verano divertido y entretenido y que a la vez desarrollen valores. Contribuya con las aventuras de verano de un niño mediante una donación durante el proceso de inscripción o en el Formulario de Inscripción a Campamentos de Verano del Condado de Arlington. (página 25) Campamentos para todas las edades En esta Guía de Campamentos de Verano, usted encontrará actividades para los niños de todas las edades y habilidades. Para garantizar la diversión, asegúrese de escoger un campamento que no sólo satisfaga los intereses de su hijo, sino que también sea adecuado para la edad/habilidad. Observe el cuadro de la página 27 para conocer los campamentos adecuados según la edad. Los campamentos para niños de edad preescolar son campamentos exclusivos para que los niños pequeños abran sus alas y crezcan. Los niños de edad elemental encontrarán campamentos en todas las categorías de campamentos…consulte las opciones. Algunos campamentos ofrecen buenas opciones de cuidado diurno mientras que otros son breves, encantadores y ¡realmente valen la pena! Oportunidades de campamento para personas con Necesidades Espicales El Condado de Arlington sostiene una filosofía de inclusión por la cual las personas con ol son bienvenidas para inscribirse en cualquier programa o campamento. A fin de garantizar que los participantes tengan una experiencia positiva, ofrecemos campamentos en Centros de Inclusión designados. Los campamentos “Little Explorers” para pequeños en Madison y Fairlington y “Summerfest” (Festival de verano) en la escuela primaria Tuckahoe son centros que reciben servicios adicionales, incluso una menor capacidad máxima en los campamentos, más personal en proporción a los campistas y capacitación adicional para el personal sobre modificaciones de los programas y manejo del comportamiento. Todas las personas que reciben apoyo a través de la Oficina de Recreación Terapéutica (Campamentos de inclusión o TR) deben completar un Paquete de Alojamiento, además de los formularios de inscripción en la página 25. La Oficina de Recreación Terapéutica enviará el Paquete de Alojamiento una vez que el niño esté inscrito. La información proporcionada en el Paquete de Alojamiento le permite a TR planificar una experiencia exitosa para cada campista, independientemente de sus capacidades. Se realizan todos los esfuerzos por incluir a los campistas en los programas de recreación que más se adapten a sus intereses y capacidades. Llame a la Oficina de TR al 703-228-4740 si necesita recomendaciones sobre campamentos para su hijo. Nota: la oficina de TR se reserva el derecho de reasignar a los campistas si el personal determina que recibirán una atención más eficaz en otro programa. Un Personal calificado hace que las cosas funcionen Los asesores del campamento y el campo de juegos son gente especial. El personal de el Departmento de Parques y Recreación tiene que adorar el trabajo con jóvenes (de lo contrario no los contrataríamos). Ellos son creativos, entusiastas, comprometidos y sinceros… ¡Y súper pacientes y muy divertidos! De hecho, muchos de los consejeros de los campamentos y campos de juego de Arlington han sido campistas, frecuentemente en programas que ahora dirigen. Mucho de nuestro personal comprometido son maestros de escuela, graduados de universidad que esperan hallar un trabajo permanente con jóvenes. Son un grupo talentoso y divertido, todos con cantidad de experiencia en su especialidad, y todos están comprometidos a ayudar a sus hijos a que sean lo mejor que puedan ser. Para asegurar que sus hijos tengan una experiencia positiva y divertida, el Condado de Arlington invierte en capacitación y desarrollo de su personal.
