Recreation Summer School Afternoon Day Camp at Lake Hills - Summer 2026

Join us for Recreation Summer School, a summer day camp program designed to ignite excitement and exploration in the sunny afternoons! 

This year, NORA Recreation Summer School will be at Lake Hills in the afternoons from 12:30pm - 3:30pm from June 17 - July 23 on Mondays - Thursdays (first week, Wed & Thurs only). Our program will work in partnership with the Outdoor Discovery Center morning STEM camp and GHAPS tutoring as well. Free lunch will be served daily from 12:15 - 12:45 through the Meet Up & Eat Up program so kids can get a healthy hot lunch to fuel their afternoon of play.

Each week, participants will embark on thrilling journeys filled with outdoor games, creative crafts, sports activities, and engaging challenges. From scavenger hunts to water games, our Rec Summer School promises endless fun and unforgettable memories. 

Open to children who have completed Kindergarten through 4th grade, this program offers the perfect blend of entertainment and enrichment to make every afternoon a highlight of the summer!

We will have daily activities with a blend of structured and unstructured activities. 


Activities will end by 3pm with students being ready for pick up between 3-3:30pm. ALL STUDENTS MUST BE PICKED UP BY 3:30pm OR A LATE FEE WILL BE ISSUED

**Outdoor Discovery Center will be running a morning program at Lake Hills**

Their registration is separate from the NORA program but they do make efforts to make sure all NORA kids are included in their registration if they want to participate in the full day program.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • Is there before/after care?: There is a separate program that runs all morning through Outdoor Discovery Center so we encourage people to register for their program as well as ours. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide after care so kids must be picked up by 3:30pm.
  • Can I send bugspray, sunscreen, etc?: Yes - we encourage families to apply sunscreen & bug spray before dropping kids off and each day during activity rotations, we include a station for reapplying sunscreen and bug spray. Each child or family must send their own sunscreen/bug spray and it must be labeled.
  • Is there a scholarship?: We pride ourselves on keeping the cost of this program low but we are unable to provide a full scholarship for it. We are able to offer a payment plan allowing you to pay $65 every two weeks until it's paid off and if your child qualifies for free/reduced lunch, we are able to help apply for a grant to cover a portion of the camp registration if needed.
