What is Camp UREC?
Camp UREC is a weekly children's day camp at the James Madison University Recreation Center. Kids will have full days of fun - playing in the recreation center, around campus and in the community. Camp Counselors are trained JMU student employees.
Example of Typical Week
Camp is 8:30am through 4:30pm Monday through Friday. A typical week at camp will include a variety of sport and recreational activities, opportunities to climb the UREC wall, swimming and arts and crafts. Children will take trips to other areas on campus such as the Arboretum and the dining services chef. Local Harrisonburg services such as the Fire Department and Police will be stopping in, as well as martial artists for demonstrations. Each Friday, the group will take a field trip to a local Harrisonburg establishment such as the Children’s Museum (each Friday will be a different location).
