 The City of Fort Lauderdale is gearing up for an exciting summer full of action-packed camp fun.
If you are looking for a neighborhood Community Camp, check out our locations around the City that will offer swimming and water fun, arts and crafts, and fitness and sports.
If your child wants to specialize in a certain sport or activity, then check out our Specialty Camps. These camps also have a wide range of fun activities, but the emphasis is usually on one specific sport or activity, such as tennis, gymnastics, or sports and fitness.
The City of Fort Lauderdale Parks & Recreation Department is committed to providing fun and unique summer activities for all children.
