The Parks and Recreation Department will be hosting “School’s Out, Camp’s In” for children 5-17 years old at 21 recreation centers on Wednesday, October 16 from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. They must be dropped off by 10 a.m.
The day camp will be free. All children will be supervised, entertained and fed lunch. Please send them, if you can, with snacks and a refillable water bottle.
“Many Tampa parents are returning to work, but schools are not yet ready to reopen,” Parks and Recreation Director Tony Mulkey said. “It’s a challenge, and we hope that providing this ‘School’s Out, Camp’s In’ session will help support families.”
