Adventure Camp Series is an all-day, active and adventurous camp designed for 9 – 13 year olds with engaging activities to ensure they are moving, exploring, and developing throughout each day. Each week campers will participate in activities based around the featured theme. Our Camp counselors are American Red Cross CPR/First Aid Certified and will follow established camp/bus rules to ensure safety at all times. We strive to maintain a 8 to 1 participant to counselor ratio at all times for camp. Any changes due to weather, or other unforeseen circumstances, will be communicated as soon as possible to participants.
Required EACH DAY at camp: sack lunch, snacks, water, sunscreen, bug spray, towel, swimsuit, comfortable walking shoes, water shoes and a change of clothes. Personal items and electronics are discouraged at camp. Any allergies to food, sunscreen, bug spray, etc. should be communicated to camp staff. Transportation will be provided by Billings Parks and Recreation. Parents or guardians are required to sign-in and sign-out their camper daily, as well as drop of the completed consent form by the first day of camp.
