The mini version of JUKO
Join us for the mini version of JUKO! This two week summer camp is for children ages 3-5. Each day we have tons of fun when we play games, read stories, make a cool craft, and eat lunch together! We also learn silly songs, have themed dress-up days, and fire sprays.
This year's theme, "Seussville," brings many great crafts, songs, and special programs for the Camp!
Register your child to join us as we experience the animal world around us and more!

Little JUKO Rules
We have a few rules at Little JUKO to keep everyone safe and camp running smoothly:
All Richmond Parks and Recreation summer programs have one main rule: NO HURTING! Please send your child in a swimsuit or clothes that they can get wet in along with a towel on Water Days. Please keep in contact with the Little JUKO staff regarding your child. Having an open line of communication will help us better care for your child. Children must wear tennis shoes to Little JUKO on all non-water days! This is important for us to reduce the risk of injury. Kids MUST check out with their Little JUKO counselors everyday before leaving. All children attending Little JUKO MUST be potty-trained.
Little JUKO Staff
All Little JUKO Camp Counselors and staff members attend training week prior to the start of camp covering topics such as developmental stages, recognizing child abuse, and psychological aspects of children. Additionally, our staffers pass police background checks and are CPR and First-Aid certified.
Weather Policy
Cancellations will be made on a case-by-case basis. To learn about if we have cancelled JUKO or not, please wait for an automated phone call/email, or visit our Facebook Page.
If it starts to rain during camp, Little JUKO campers will go inside the shelters at both the Springwood and Mary Scott locations, however, the shelter at Mary Scott Park is very small for the number of children we have. Therefore, we would recommend that you pick your child up early if it is raining during Little JUKO.
