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 $40 – $90 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.

There must be a minimum of 15 paid participants by March 15, in order to run the camp. If there are less than 15 participants registered by March 15, 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.
