Our Recreation Staff & Safety
Our professional staff consists of a professional recreation manager who is
assisted by college seniors seeking degrees in recreation. They are
CPR/First Aid certified and maintain a 10:1 ration of children-to-staff.
The PlayZone staff and the front desk staff maintain communication via
two-way radios. If you need to contact your child during a play program,
you may do so at anytime through the front desk.
It’s Easy To Sign-Up Your Children For A PlayZone Program!
Upon
your arrival, consult the PlayZone brochure of activities that describe
the themed activities offered during your stay. You may pre-register your
child for the Day Programs and Kids Night Out at the Pelican Beach resort
front desk. These programs are designed for ages 4 – 12 years. Other
programs, such as crafts-by-the-pool and complimentary programs are open
to all ages, including adults.
What Happens In The PlayZone?
This summer we are going to have a
complementary morning activities for the kids to get the day going.
Examples of some of the activities will be, Hula-Hoop Contests, Free
Face Painting, Bean Bag Toss, Sand Castle Contests, and Soccer Ball
Shoot Out. As the summer progresses our Recreation staff will be
evaluating the success of each of these activities, and may shuffle
new activities in and out to increase overall satisfaction and benefit
from our participants. These morning activities will occur between
9am-10:30am.
Our
afternoons will be our regularly scheduled “Arts and Crafts”
time. These activities have a cost associated with them. The
cost will be determined on the type of “Arts and Crafts”
being held. Examples of our “Arts and Crafts” are as
follows, Wood Art, Painting Sea Shells, Tie-Dye T-Shirts,
Build-A-Buddy Stuffed Animals, Painting Sand Dollars, and
Painting Refrigerator Magnets. As the summer progresses our
Recreation staff will be evaluating the success of each of
these activities, and may shuffle new activities in and out
to increase overall satisfaction and benefit from our
participants. This “Arts and Crafts” program is NOT
drop off program. If your child needs supervision, you as
the parent or guardian will be responsible for accompanying
your child during this time. These afternoon “Arts and
Crafts” activities usually occur between 2pm-3:30pm.
Each activity will be posted in the
elevators in both the Pelican and Terrace buildings the day
before the activity will occur. There will also be a weekly
brochure that you can pick up at the Front Desk at the
Pelican Building. This will be available on Monday’s for the
week to follow. Times are subject to change, and changes
will always be posted in the elevators. If you have any
