Camps are offered at select Parks & Recreation centers during summer break. They are open to children, grades 1-6, who live within the City of Huntsville or attend Huntsville City Schools.

Registration is closed for 2023 Summer Camps. Hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Morning and afternoon snacks are provided. Parents or guardians must provide a daily lunch.

Specialty camp dates and times vary based on location. At all camps, children are supervised by professional recreation staff. Spaces are limited and applications will be accepted on first-come, first served basis. Click here for more information on specialty camps.

Camps will not take place on City of Huntsville holidays.


HOW TO REGISTER

Parents or guardians may apply online to register. A separate application must be submitted for each child attending.


DROP OFF/PICK UP

Each child must be checked in upon arrival and may only be checked out by an adult listed on the registration form. If someone who is not listed on the form comes to pick up a child, the parent/guardian will be contacted to ensure the individual has permission to take the child. No early drop offs are permitted. At this time, transportation to and from the camps is not available.
