Summer Camp at Hunt Park

Hunt Park · $95/week

City of Riverside summer camp offering recreational activities, sports, and crafts for youth.

▌ Editor's read The Summer Camp at Hunt Park is operated by the City of Riverside Parks and Recreation Department, as indicated by the URL 'riversideca.gov/park_rec/programs-sports/youth/camps'. This identifies it as a municipal program. The camp is a day camp, offering activities such as games, sports, crafts, and field trips for children aged 5-12, as described on the 'Youth Camps' page. The cost is listed as $95 per week, making it a relatively affordable option. While the website provides general information about activities, it lacks specific details regarding staff qualifications, staff-to-camper ratios, or explicit mentions of background checks for staff. The camp is not accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), as a search of the ACA directory for 'Riverside' and 'Hunt Park' yielded no results. Social media presence includes an Instagram handle '@riversideparkandrec' and a Facebook page 'RiversideParkandRec', which primarily showcase general park and recreation activities rather than specific camp details.
