Spring Camps at Parks

Keep your kids active, fit and engaged during the spring school break with one of our affordable Fit2Play Spring Break Camps.

Fit2Play Camps focus on a variety of activities from fitness, sports, and arts and crafts to games and exciting field trips. The cost for these camps is $45 per week, depending on the program.

Each day's session includes Sports, Play and Active Recreation for Kids (SPARK), an evidence-based, outcome-oriented part of Fit2Play. It can improve the quantity and quality of physical activity that your child participates in. It is designed to develop and improve motor skills, movement knowledge, and social and personal skills.

FIT2Lead is a supervised and safe alternative for youth ages 12-14. The goal of the program is to provide opportunities for youth to gain life skills that promote mental, social and physical health that encourages positive behavior.

There must be a minimum of 15 confirmed F2P/F2L participants by March 12, in order to run the camp. If there are less than 15 participants registered by March 12, Miami-Dade Parks reserves the right to remove the camp from operation.

Children with disabilities are welcome at all Miami-Dade Parks' programs. Contact the park manager to develop an inclusion plan as early as possible.
