It’s mid-April so you may be slow but not too late for Summer camp in Tampa. Whether you have little athletes or inquisitive thinkers, you’re behind the 8 ball if you haven’t decided. An informal poll, around the radio station, found products of math, basketball, and baseball and science camps. In addition some of the crew did full-on, sleep away camps, in cabins but all described their time as awesome. As parents, we all want the same for our little people, so whichever side of the bay you reside, it’s not too late for Summer camp in Tampa.

If you play golf, it’s a love/hate relationship. If you’re looking to have you camper learn about the sport, First Tee of Tampa Bay is a fun start. This camp is more than putting and driving. There is a concentration on life skills, core values, healthy snacking and oh yeah, lots of play on the course. Boys and girls, ages 6 – 17 take over Rogers Park Golf Course, in Tampa for an exciting look into the game. There direct link is here, for more information.

Your camper can learn everything from basic horse care, grooming, riding lessons as well as games, arts and crafts. Avalon Charities is a unique summer experience, from June 5th thru July 28th and with a 15 child per session limit, a strong concentration on the individual camp experience is at hand. Riding, and equestrian sports is an expensive interaction so an opportunity to get up close and personal to these animals is work a look. More information on Avalon can be found here.

St. Pete Parks and Recreation have youth and teen camp offerings at recreation centers as well as nature camps at Boyd Hill. There is also a teen tech camp and a junior lifeguard camp (which I find beneficial for entertainment and home water safety). As a teenage lifeguard myself, that camp has a special place in my heart. Imagine an 8th grader saving his mom, from drowning, in the backyard. Thanks to that same training, tragedy avoided. Click here for information available on camp times and locations.
