BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Parents looking to keep their kids busy this summer need look no further than the City of Boca Raton. The city’s Recreation Services Department just announced its 2026 Summer Camp lineup, featuring more than 30 unique programs designed to spark creativity and build new skills. Running from June 1 through August 7, the camps cater to a wide range of interests and schedules, offering both half-day and full-day options at various facilities spread across the city.
The summer programs are open to children as young as four years old — provided they are fully toilet trained — all the way up to teenagers aged 16. Whether your child is an aspiring engineer or a future stage star, there is a camp to match their interests. Tech-savvy kids can dive into STEM themes like Zany Zoology and Arkidtecture through engaging programs such as Bricks, Bots & Beakers, Mad Science, or the Children’s Science Explorium’s Science Camp. Meanwhile, creatively inclined campers can take the stage in Acting & Improv, Curtains Up, and Rock Camp, or channel their inner artist at the Eco Creations Camp.
For the young athletes in the family, the city is rolling out a variety of sports camps aimed at teaching fundamentals and sharpening competitive skills. Active options include tennis, pickleball, golf, Kidnastics, Amazing Sports & Fitness, and the Junior Lifeguards program. If traditional sports aren’t their thing, kids can embark on specialized adventures instead. Nature enthusiasts will love the beloved Gumbo Limbo Environmental Camp, while others can explore unique hobbies through Discover Magic, Fishing, or even Shark Camp.
Reserve your spot now. Registration officially opens on Monday, March 23, for Boca Raton residents, with non-resident sign-ups following a week later on March 30. The extensive camp offerings are part of the Recreation Services Department’s ongoing effort to enhance the community’s quality of life by utilizing its 49 parks, community centers, and nature facilities.
