After-school can be a critical part of your child's development - in Missouri, children in after school programs are taking part in physical activities, getting help with homework, and receiving a health snack and meals. In a growing digital age, we feel it's important that the kids in our care are able to take part in all the above - swimming, running in the gym, and of course, having time to do their homework. Part of our after school philosophy revolves around the family - we strive to be as communicative and collaborative as possible with a child's guardians as we work with them after school. Using tools like ProCare Connect (an app that allows parents to message staff, see sign ins/outs, and more), director conversations at sign in/out, and more, we hope that we meet this mission daily. (For more information about after school programs and their impact, feel free to check out the After School Alliance here.

Ozark Parks & Recreation Dept. offers 4 full-time summer day camps

Campers meet at the Finley River Park, daily Monday - Friday, from 7:00AM-8:30AM (or anytime thereafter, parents will have to meet the campers where they are at); pick-up @ Finley River Park between 4:30 pm to 6pm.

Each camp has a different activity schedule, which includes field trips, swimming, visits to The OC, and other locations in a 30-mile radius. These can all be found in the tabs below. The camps begin the day after Ozark Schools are out for the summer, and run through the day before Ozark schools resume in August. Our registration is a full summer commitment, however, if you are interested in a partial summer, we can add your name to a wait list and will contact you if a space becomes available.

Grade Breakdown of Various Camps

Junior Journeys - Finishing K through Finishing 2ndRiverside Adventures - Finishing 3rd through Finishing 6th
Camp Wild Rush- Finishing 7th through 8thCounselor in Training - Finishing 9th and 10th

Please note - Maximum capacity for Junior Journeys and Riverside Adventures is 140 campers, so early registration is a must. There is a maximum number of part-time, or 3 day per week, options available, and these are given on registration day on a "first come, first serve" basis.

Campers who wish to have a 3 day per week option can register for the 5 day per week option, and be put on a list to switch as a part time option become available. Our camp will have a $20 registration fee, which includes two shirts per child.

Junior Journeys will be divided into two "units," and will be ran as different Camps. Junior Journeys Unit 1 and Unit 2 will have completely different schedules, and operate on different buses. The same is true for Riverside Adventures Unit 1 and Unit 2. If you wish for your child to be with their friend, please note that on your registration packet. Units will be put together primarily based on age (when building Junior Journeys Unit 1, we will place primarily K and 1, whereas Unit 2 may have more 1st and 2nd grade).
