Youth Programs

The Town's Parks & Recreation Department offers three programs on a yearly basis where participants receive academic assistance, literacy development, social skills training, and physical fitness in an environment where they can safely explore, discover, create and grow.

These programs serve approximately 240 children in grades K-8 and are funded in part by The Children’s Trust and the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. Our programs include:

  • After-School Program: The Town has successfully operated the After-School program since 2009. The program offers recreational and evidenced based activities to assist youth aged 6-12 in improving academically, developing appropriate social skills and adopting an active lifestyle. The program includes a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) component in partnership with Miami Dade College.
    • Registration for this program typically opens by the end of July.
  • Careers in STEM Summer Camp: Through the support of The Children's Trust, our FREE Careers in STEM Summer Camp hosts children entering grades 6 through 8 (middle school). During this six-week summer camp, participants learn to build and program a robot while discovering the world of robotics and engineering. Participants also have the potential to earn an Introduction to Robotics Certification from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Academy. The program ends with a Robotics Exhibition, where participants will display their robotic creations. Additional enrichment activities include educational field trips, career exploration, group STEM activities and presentations, and fitness and nutrition education.
    • Registration for this program typically opens around in the Spring (April/May).
  • Summer Camp: This is an eight week Summer Camp for youth ages 6-12. Campers enjoy swimming lessons, arts & crafts, fitness activities, indoor and outdoor activities, weekly field trips, and much more.
    • Registration for this program typically opens around in the Spring (April/May).
