These programs are offered for an additional fee, and are designed to give campers an exposure to other recreational skills.   If your child is not going to attend camp for the entire summer, but wishes to participate in these programs, you need to register your child at the daily rate for each of the days the enrichment program is offered. (Please note you can pay either the regular day rate or the extended day rate for each day they will be coming to participate in the enrichment program.)



Important Note: Participant must be registered at Camp Edna for each of the days the enrichment program is offered.


New this year, we are offering two programs for pre-schoolers (age 4 or 5 as of October 15, 2015) designed to give children an exposure to recreational skills and an opportunity to socialize with other children in a camp setting. Unlike the enrichment programs for the older kids, the 4 & 5 year olds will not attend camp for the day, but will be involved only for the timeframe of the program. Each participant will receive a camp t-shirt and parents are asked to send a snack and drink each day.
