Registration for Parks & Rec summer camps opens April 1

CBJ Parks & Recreation will offer several weeklong day camps throughout the summer for children ages 5 – 13. Online registration opens Monday, April 1, at noon (click the “Youth & Teen” tab). Each weeklong camp costs $118.75-$170 + tax. A total of 178 spaces are available.

Camps are offered at Zach Gordon Youth Center and Dimond Park. Each weeklong ZGYC camp focuses on a different theme, including arts and crafts, hiking and the outdoors, sports and games, and even real-world DnD. Schedules range from morning- and afternoon-only camps to all-day sessions.

Meanwhile, the Dimond Park Adventure Camps combine swimming and water games at Dimond Park Aquatic Center (DPAC) with activities at Dimond Park Field House and surrounding trails. Please note that, unlike ZGYC summer camps, campers must be dropped off at DPAC and picked up at the Field House.
