The end of the school year is quickly approaching and it’s time to start making plans for what your children will be doing this summer! Our Recreation Department is bringing its Summer Camps back and registration is open now. You can sign up here.  

The camps run from June 5 until July 14, lasting each day from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The cost is $180 per child for the six-week program, and that includes breakfast and lunch, field trips in the community, swimming, educational and enrichment activities, supplies for crafts, and other activities.  The camps are open to children ages 5 to 15 can participate. The child must be 5 before April 1, 2023.  

“We strive to create activities and programs that can be enjoyed by all our camp participants. The collective theme is Macon a Brighter Future,” said Recreation Programmer Natalie Allen. “Each recreation facility will have programs designed to provide campers with a fun and educational experience. They will help build camaraderie, foster teamwork, and encourage personal growth.” 

The camps are offered at the following centers: L.H. Williams, Memorial, South Bibb, Bloomfield-Gilead, Kings Park, Delores A. Brooks, Frank Johnson, Rosa Jackson, and Theron Ussery. This year, it will be free for campers to swim at the recreation centers that have pools. The pool locations are South Bibb Recreation Center, Frank Johnson Recreation Center and Delores A Brook Recreation Center. Participants must follow pool rules and regulations. All participants must bring their own swimsuits and towels. Lifeguards will be on duty. 

Registration closes on June 3, 2023,  at 10:00 p.m.
