Memorial · $50/week

Birmingham Park & Recreation offers an affordable summer day camp at Memorial Park, providing supervised activities for children during the summer months.

▌ Editor's read The provided URL leads to an Instagram post from October 2017 by the 'Birmingham Parks and Recreation' account, advertising a 'Kids Summer Camp' at Memorial Park. The post indicates a weekly cost of $50 and mentions activities like arts & crafts, games, and field trips. The Instagram account, @birminghamparksandrec, is active and appears to be the official account for the City of Birmingham Parks and Recreation Department, suggesting the camp is a municipal offering. A search for 'Birmingham Parks and Recreation' confirms it is a city department (birminghamal.gov/parks-and-recreation). While the specific camp details from 2017 are outdated, the department likely continues to offer summer programs. There is no mention of ACA accreditation on their website or in the Instagram post. No specific staff-to-camper ratios or background check policies were found on the limited information available. The camp is clearly a day camp due to its nature as a community center program. Further research would require contacting the department directly for current summer camp information.
