Week 5: That's a Wrap! ☀️🎉

What an incredible way to wrap up another amazing summer at Ridley Park Playground Camp!

This week, we celebrated the holidays—summer style! 🎄🎃🐰 Our campers had a blast searching for eggs during our Easter Egg Hunt, showing off their creativity in their favorite Halloween costumes, and celebrating Christmas in July with candy canes and lots of holiday cheer!

Thank you to all of our camp families for sharing your children with us this summer. It was a joy to watch them have fun, make new friends, and create lasting memories!

A very special thank you goes out to the best group of counselors around! Your energy, patience, kindness, and dedication made this summer so special for every camper. We couldn't have done it without you!

We hope everyone has a safe, happy, and relaxing rest of the summer. We can't wait to see everyone again next year! 💙💛☀️

Today is the last day of Summer Playground Camp and we couldn’t have done it without our staff! Each of them showed up week after week with energy, patience, and creativity. We are so lucky to call them our Ridley Park Playground Summer 2026 Counselors and Director!

☀️ Four Weeks Down... One to Go! ☀️

It's hard to believe we're heading into our final week of camp! Time really does fly when you're having fun!

Last week was packed with excitement! Our campers had a blast during the Playground Olympics, enjoyed a delicious Pizza Day (a huge thank you to our Ridley Park Tax Collector for the generous donation!), spent time getting creative in the Art Room, and stayed cool by watching movies together during the hot and smoky days.

Here's to one more week of making memories, sharing laughs, and ending camp on a high note. We can't wait to see everyone for one last week of summer fun! 🌞🎨🏅🍕

🌤️ We are aware of the air quality warning for Thursday.

Camp will be open, and we do plan to be outside for parts of the day. We'll also have the sprinkler out to help everyone stay cool! 💦

You know your child best, so please use your best judgment when deciding whether to send them to camp.

Thank you!

Three weeks down and only two to go! ☀️🎉

What an incredible week it's been at camp! Our campers showed off their artistic talents with colorful chalk creations in the parking lot, hit the gym for some exciting full-court basketball, battled it out in the Gaga Ball pit, and cooled off with a fun-filled sprinkler day.

The excitement continued with a dodgeball tournament packed with teamwork, laughter, and friendly competition. Meanwhile, our art room was buzzing with creativity as campers turned their unique ideas into amazing masterpieces.

We can't wait to see what adventures, memories, and smiles the next two weeks will bring. Here's to an unforgettable finish to an amazing summer! 🌟
