Summer camps from Huntsville Parks + Recreation
Led by highly trained staff, the City of Huntsville’s summer camps offer a blend of educational and recreational activities. They provide children with more than just a place to spend their days through opportunities for growth, learning, friendship-building and exploration of new interests.
Huntsville City School students in grades 1-6 are eligible for full-day camps, which run from Monday, June 3, to Friday, July 27. Full-day camps will be at Cavalry Hills, Dr. Richard Showers, Sr., Fern Bell and Mark Russell recreation centers.
The cost is $50 per week per student and $30 per week for each sibling. Half-day specialty camps are age-specific and cost $25 per week per student and $10 per week for each sibling.
“We’ve had overwhelming community interest in our camp offerings. We’re proud to offer something truly unique and affordable that also provides educational and physical fitness opportunities for students during summer months.”
James Gossett, Parks & Recreation Director
