Summer Camps at Parks

Get the kids away from the television and game systems and treat them to fresh air, awesome outdoor activities, and the opportunity to make new friends and life-long memories, by enrolling them in one of the exciting Summer Camps offered by the Miami-Dade Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department, June through Aug.

Camps will not only thrill and challenge your child, but are fully supervised, offering parents peace of mind, while their child enjoys a full recreational schedule, with fitness activities, sports, arts and crafts, nature encounters, quiet games, and field trips. In addition, children will learn about the benefits of going green, as they discover that a healthy planet is essential for a healthy life by learning the basics of recycling, water conservation and other eco-friendly behaviors that are beneficial for the planet.

Campers will also enjoy the annual end-of-summer bash, which includes games, sports competitions and lunch.

Registration is open online and will remain open until sessions are filled.
