Authorization ~
REQUEST:
The Parks and Recreation Department requests the Commission review
the following information relative to the 1999 Summer Day Camp
Program and provide staff with any direction it deems appropriate.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this request is to present to the Commission the Parks
and Recreation Department recommendation for the 1999 Summer Day
Camp Program.
CONSIDERA TION:
· The status of summer public day camp programs in the area for the
previous 1998 season is attached. (See attachment "A").
· 1998 Summer Programs at $50.00 to $60,00 per week were full; camps at
$80,00 to $95.00 per week were at less than one-fifth capacity that were
held at local Public Schools.
. For Summer Program field trips, one trained adult must be present for
each eight youth according to the HRS laws. For in-house supervision,
only one camp director plus one supervisor for each 25 youth is required,
. The communities that have their own recreation centers, swimming pools
and a Summer Day Camp Program for $60.00 per week or less fill their
programs immediately with residents, leaving non-residents to look else
where.
. Please note the school day camp supervisor tells us that in 1999, all
elementary schools in Winter Springs will offer this program regardless
of the number of registrations as a service to the community.

Staff is recommending a two tier program as follows:
. Tier # 1 - Summer Day Camp Program
Description: 8 week / 5 day program including all
afternoon and weekly field trips.
Location: Winter Springs Civic Center
Daysffime: Monday - Friday 7:30a-6:00p
Ages/Fees: 6 - 12
$75.00 per week! per resident
$85,00 per week! per Non-resident
. Tier # 2 - Summer Day Camp Program
Description: 8 week / 4 day program including all
afternoon field trips.
Park Site: Winter Springs Civic Center
Daysffime: Monday - Thursday 7:30a-6:00p
Ages/Fees: 6 - 12
$65.00 per week! per resident
$75,00 per week! per Non-resident
. Serving: Both Tier # 1 & # 2 combined could
serve 70 children total
. Estimated Budget: $42,000
This program provides residents the opportunity to select a program that they
can afford. (See attachment "B"),
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Commission approve the two-tiered Summer Day
Camp Program discussed above on a break-even basis.
FUNDING:
No funding is allocated in our current 1998-1999 budget. We have structured
the budget for the Summer Program on a break-even basis including all
activity fees and personnel, which total $42,000. However, if the
Commission subsidized the Summer Program for $20 per participant, per 8
weeks, times 70 youth that would cost the City $11,200.00 the program cost
per participant would be reduced, Tier # 1 participants would pay $55 per
week and Tier # 2 participants would pay $45 per week.
