The City of Panama City Beach Parks and Recreation Department is thrilled to announce the return of Summer Camps! There are more than 70 different camps scheduled from June 3-August 2. The time to register is now, as many of the camps fill up quickly.
This year’s lineup has it all, from fine arts to sports, aquatic and science adventures, and even gaming and specialty camps. There are more than eight camps each week and run from one up to five days. With affordable pricing and a variety of activities for ages 4-18, it’s the perfect recipe for a summer of fun and memories that will last a lifetime.
Parks and Recreation camps are designed to promote teamwork, creativity, and physical activity. Sports enthusiasts can choose from baseball, basketball, and co-ed flag football, while crafty kids can flex their artistic muscles. The water lovers can splash into lil’ mermaids, diving, jr. beach lifeguard, and even an intro to scuba. We have a new line-up of camps that are perfect for kids who want to explore their favorite fandoms. Whether your kiddo is a Lego fanatic, Minecraft obsessed, a Barbie buff, or a Star Wars aficionado, we’ve got a camp that’s just right for them!
Registration is underway and is available online or in-person at the Frank Brown Park Community Center, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Registration will end five business days prior to the start of each camp. All camps are on a first come, first served basis. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today. All camps must be paid in full at the time of registration.
Recreation Coordinator Diane Nottage said summer camp is a great outlet for students and a respite for parents. “With such a wide range of camps, kids can explore new interests, from art and science to sports and outdoor adventures. Summer camp is a fun way to keep kids engaged and learning throughout the summer,” Nottage said.
“Camps also provide a chance for kids to meet new people and build social skills in a safe and supervised environment. But most of all, camp is fun! Our goal at Parks and Recreation is to provide children with a fun and exciting summer filled with memories and new friends.”
