Camp Capaha registration under way

Southeast Missouri State University is now taking registrations for Camp Capaha, a summer day camp at the Student Recreation Center.

Camp Capaha is open to children ages 6 to 12. Children will participate in water games, crafts and sports such as soccer, basketball, racquetball, tennis, badminton, kickball, whiffleball, ultimate Frisbee and volleyball. In addition, campers will swim at Parker Pool.

All campers will be placed in age groups with one staff member for every seven children, organizers said.

Each camp session runs Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sessions will be held June 17 to 21, June 24 to 28, July 8 to 12 and July 15 to 19.

The cost for each session is $90 for children of university affiliate or Student Recreation Center members and $110 for the general public. There's a $10 discount for registration of a second sibling.

The price includes the cost of camp, daily snacks and a T-shirt for each camper. Participants must bring their own sack lunches.

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis and enrollment is limited, Southeast recreational sports officials said.

Walk-in registrations can be made at the Student Recreation Center weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by calling 651-2105.
