Wapsi-Pinicon Day Camps

Day Camp
If you don't want to hear that dreaded refrain "I'm bored" coming from your children's lips this summer, consider enrolling them in Wapsie-Pinicon Day Camp. Youth entering 1st-4th grade are invited to the camp, located at Pinicon Ridge Park in Central City, 20 minutes north of Marion. 

Day Campers participate in outdoor activities, such as canoeing, team sports, group games, archery, hiking, nature study, arts and crafts, fishing, swimming, and horseback riding.

One of the highlights of Day Camp is the Thursday Overnight at Camp Wapsie. Campers bring a sack lunch on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Camp provides the Thursday dinner, plus breakfast and lunch on Friday.

Day Trekkers
Older campers can spend the day at Wapsie and go home at night. (This is a program for youth entering 5th - 8th grades.) Under the supervision of Camp Wapsie counselors, Day Trekkers will participate in many of the daily activities offered at Camp and will do some special Trekker Activities. Friday includes an overnight at camp. Saturday morning will conclude with the Parent's Program after breakfast. Meals are included with the Day Trekking experience.

If you are going to drop your child off at Camp Wapsie they must arrive by 8:45 a.m. and you are to pick them up by 3:30 p.m.  A detailed bus itinerary is available in the brochure or from the office.

There will be no bus service provided on Saturday morning. Parents are responsible for ensuring their child is picked up at camp on Saturday.
