K.I.D.S. Camp has been providing fun-filled summers to local children since 1972. When the program started it was host to a mere 20 children each day. In 2022, over 200 children participated throughout the course of the program. Each year the Parks and Recreation Department’s K.I.D.S. Camp staff works hard to make each summer a unique and joyful experience for all our campers.
In 2023, K.I.D.S. Camp will have programming to present your child with a safe and fun-filled seven weeks of crafts, sports, games, experiments, swimming trips, and friendships!
