▌ Editor's read The primary source for this camp is an Instagram post from the official Birmingham Parks and Recreation account (@birminghamparks) dated October 19, 2017. This post advertises a 'Kids Summer Camp' at Roosevelt Park for $50 per week. The post indicates the camp runs from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, suggesting a full-day program. The camp is operated by the Birmingham Parks and Recreation Department, classifying it as a municipal-parks owner type. While the Instagram account is active, there is no more recent information about this specific summer camp program readily available on their feed or linked website. The lack of current information makes it difficult to ascertain current program details, staff ratios, or safety policies like background checks. No ACA accreditation was found for this specific program or the broader Birmingham Parks and Recreation Department in the ACA directory. Further research would require contacting the department directly for up-to-date information.
