2008 - Nottingham Recreation's Summer Camp is for youth going into grades 1 - 4. All area youth are welcome to attend our day camp where they will enjoy tons of fun and adventure every day!
Our activities include:

TIE DYEING – A variety of colors along with ample plastic gloves will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring tee-shirts and other things they wish to dye.
ART – Anything goes in this art class as we work with clay, paint, found objects, and more!

BEACH – At the town beach you will participate in swim lessons, have free swim time and do arts and crafts weather permitting. Our Wednesday trips take us to state parks and the ocean occasionally.
