Summer Camp at Youth Opportunity Center

Youth Opportunity Center · $94/week

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

▌ Editor's read The Summer Camp at Youth Opportunity Center is operated by the City of Riverside Parks and Recreation Department, as indicated by the URL (riversideca.gov/park_rec). This suggests it is a municipal program. The camp is described as a 'day camp' on the provided webpage, offering activities such as 'games, crafts, sports, and special events.' The cost is listed as $94 per week. There is no mention of ACA accreditation on the website, and a search of the ACA directory for 'Riverside' and 'Youth Opportunity Center' did not yield any results. The website does not provide specific details regarding staff-to-camper ratios, staff background check policies, or the exact age range served beyond 'youth.' The City of Riverside Parks and Recreation Facebook page (RiversideParksandRec) is linked from the main parks and recreation site, but specific camp details are not prominently featured there. No Instagram handle was found directly associated with the camp or the department's camp offerings. The webpage focuses on general program offerings rather than detailed camp specifics.
