With a wide variety of safe, fun, and engaging activities - the annual Summer Camp programs offered by North Port Parks & Recreation provide positive and life-changing experiences for children and teens entering 1st through 8th grade. Depending on the camper's upcoming grade school level, they will join either the Teen Xtreme Camp or the GMAC Summer Camp program. Both programs will start on May 31 and run through August 5, 2022. There will be no camp on June 20 or July 4, 2022.

The GMAC Summer Camp offers an exciting full day of programs that are designed to build character and self-esteem in both small and large group settings. The camp will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the George Mullen Activity Center (1602 Kramer Way). The camp is for students entering grades first through fifth. The cost is $80 per week and parents who need an extended camp day can enroll their children in the weekly extended care for an additional fee.

The Teen Xtreme Camp is for students entering sixth grade through eighth grade. The camp will be from 8:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. at the Morgan Family Community Center (6207 W. Price Blvd). This teen camp will combine the fun of day camp with more challenging programs and activities for older kids. The cost is $95 per week. Parents who need a longer camp day can enroll their child in weekly extended care for an additional fee and teens who are Achieve Anything members with parent permission may sign out after camp and use the facility per their membership.
