Got kids? Good news! The City's Neighborhood Day Camps are rolling out once again this summer, packed with activities for the young ones. The Park's Department is bringing back crowd-favorites including Arts Dabbler, H2Olympics, and Great Outdoors Camps, catering to the 8-13 age group and sprinkled across the city's green spaces.

But wait, there's more. For the tiny tots, there’s a brand new deal: Neighborhood Day Camp Jrs. Ideal for the 5-7-year-olds, this program is an introduction to the joys of summer camp, offered at four convenient locations. Plus, teens haven't been forgotten. A Leaders-In-Training initiative aims to mold 14-16-year-olds into future camp counselors with a special two-week leadership program. These expanded offerings promise to keep youngsters from kindergarten through high school engaged and entertained.

The city is also spicing things up with Specialty Camps such as Girls Sports Camp at Bottineau Field Park and Kayak Discovery at Lake Nokomis Park. Safety Camp at Whittier Park and Theater Camp at Lyndale Farmstead Park round out the specialty options. With such variety, there’s seemingly a camp for every budding interest.

Worried about the cost? Don't be. Scholarships and fee assistance are available, ensuring that all programs are accessible to any interested family.
