Camp Info
Sun's out, fun's out for our children at the 2020 Summer Playground Camp! With 24 new camps operating every two weeks, you're sure to find something for every child. Our camps offer a safe and nurturing place to play fun recreation games, opportunities to learn and discover, and make lifelong friends.
Fun & Field Trips
Activities at Summper Camp include a variety of gym games, arts & crafts, field trips, and more! Campers will also visit our aquatic center, Adventure Cove on Mondays! Field trips are specific to each camp and include places like PrimeTime, the Planetarium, the CALF Festival, MaxxAir, and more.
Let ’s Eat!
Breakfast and lunch will be provided for Sessions 1-4 (June 1 - July 23) courtesy of Abilene ISD, and Parks and Recreation provides afternoon snacks. Sessions 5-6 will provide snacks only and require campers to bring their own lunch each day. During extended times of outdoor activity water will be provided.
Meet the Staff Nights
A Meet the Staff Night will be hosted at Adventure Cove on Thursday, May 28 from 7:30-9:00pm. Parents and campers will have the chance to become familiar with the staff and learn what to expect at camp. This is an excellent opportunity to complete or submit the required forms. While the meeting is not mandatory, it is highly recommended to attend.
Fees & Registration
Cost is $85 per camper for each two week session beginning June 1 - August 7. Session 6, a one week fun camp August 10 - 14, is $50 per camper. For more information, apply for financial assistance, or to register please visit our website at www.abilenetx.gov/camps.
