Let’s face it; we’ve been through a lot in the last few years. We’ve heard unpleasant words such as “canceled,” “postponed,” and “virtual” more than we care to count.
As a sense of normalcy returns, the College Station Parks & Recreation Department is devoted to helping kids relearn the meaning of summer fun — with a perfect solution.
Summer camps. We offer 20 captivating and diverse camps, to be exact.
Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventure, interactive science, or active play, we have it all for ages 3-15. New this year is an adaptive camp with activities adapted for each person and related to the day’s theme, including boccia ball, basketball, arts and crafts, team building, science, and more.
Our goal is to create exciting experiences through supervised, structured recreation in a safe and welcoming environment. Qualified instructors are carefully selected to ensure your child has fun while learning new skills.
