COMMUNITY CENTER CAMPS Summer Camps 
June 8 - July 31
Registration will begin March 30, 2009 for all Community Center camp locations, with the exception of Douglass Community Center, which will begin registration on April 11 at 9 a.m. and Sun Valley Community Center which will begin registration on April 6 at 8 a.m.  For more information, please contact the camp site of your choice, listed below.

Metro Parks' structured day camps provide safe, fun and educational enrichment opportunities. The camps, offered from June 8 to July 31 at Metro Parks community centers and outreach sites, allow children to experience sports, arts and the great outdoors in a wholesome environment.

Most camps begin at 8 a.m. and end at 6 p.m. Reduced fee rates are available at most locations for those who can demonstrate financial need. Residents from outside Louisville Metro can attend Metro Parks camps for an additional $10 per child each week.

A non-refundable registration fee of $20 is due along with the first week's camp fee at the time of registration.  One t-shirt is included in the registration fee. This applies to all camp sites.

To support the City of Parks initiative that is expanding and improving Louisville’s parks, summer camps focus on building participants’ appreciation for nature, parks and green space, while encouraging them to become good stewards of our environment.  Arts and craft projects focus on park landscapes and other nature themes.  Support for these efforts come from Brightside, and the Metro Parks Special Events Crew.

Teens ages 13 and 14 -- who are too old for some camp programs but too young for summer camp employment -- can attend some camp locations as junior camp counselors. Contact the camp location of your choice for more information.
