Play, Climb & Swim at Camp UREC Summer 2012!
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. See UREC facility photos here!
Enrollment is available for children age 6-12 (rising first-graders through rising eighth graders). Camp is open to both JMU and non-JMU affiliates.
Register today for the session(s) your camper wishes to attend! As sessions fill, we will update the table below with that information. **If a session is listed as full, please do not send in a registration. To keep a quality camper/counselor ratio, we truly cannot accept any more campers once a session is listed as full!**
