PARKS & BEACHES ANNOUNCES SUMMER CAMPS STARTING JUNE 1

Monroe County Parks & Beaches is gearing up for another summer of fun, learning, and adventurous activities with its 2026 Summer Camp Program, offering eight weeks of activities for children aged 6 to 12 at multiple locations throughout the Florida Keys.

Camp hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (excluding the volleyball specialty camp, which runs 9-3 p.m.), with a variety of activities, including interactive games, field trips, and hands-on experiences designed to keep kids active and engaged all summer long. The cost is $150 per week, with a $25 sibling discount available. Full registration is required at least 10 days prior to each camp session.

Weekly sessions begin June 1, with Lower Keys camps taking place at Big Pine Key Community Park (3 Weeks: June 1-19), Sugarloaf School (June 22-26 Volleyball Camp $200 and July 13-17), and Bernstein Park (July 20-24 and Aug. 3-7). In the Upper Keys, camp is offered July 6–10 at Plantation Key Community Center in Tavernier.

“Our summer camp program is about giving kids a safe, active, and memorable experience while school is out,” said Monroe County Parks and Beaches Director John Allen. “From outdoor play to structured activities and local field trips, we’re proud to offer something for every child across the Keys.”

Families can also explore additional camp opportunities through partner organizations, including aquatic camps at Key Largo Community Park pool ([email protected] June 6-11), and the Sheriff’s Youth Ranch Camp ([email protected] June 8-12) and the Special Olympics Camp ([email protected] July 6-10) at Bernstein Park on Stock Island.
