Inglenook · $50/week

A general summer day camp offered by Birmingham Parks and Recreation at the Inglenook Recreation Center.

▌ Editor's read The provided URL links to an Instagram post from September 2017 by @birminghamparksandrec, advertising a 'Kids Summer Camp' at Inglenook for $50 per week. This post indicates the camp is a day program run by the Birmingham Park & Recreation department, classifying it as a municipal-parks owner type. While the Instagram account @birminghamparksandrec is active, more recent posts primarily focus on events and facilities rather than detailed summer camp information for the current year. A search for 'Birmingham Park & Recreation Kids Summer Camp Inglenook' did not yield a dedicated camp website or a current program brochure with specific details like staff ratios, accreditation, or licensing information. The camp is not listed in the ACA directory. Without a current official source, details regarding background checks for staff, specific activities, or the exact years of operation for this particular camp program remain unknown. The low weekly cost of $50, as advertised in the 2017 post, suggests it is an accessible option for families, consistent with municipal programming goals.
