▌ Editor's read The Miami-Dade County Parks summer camp program, including the South Dade Park location, is operated by the municipal government, making it a public service offering (miamidade.gov/summercamps/). The website explicitly states that all staff undergo background checks, indicating a commitment to safety. The program is a day camp, running from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended care options available (miamidade.gov/summercamps/). While the main summer camps page lists various activities like sports, arts and crafts, and field trips, specific details for South Dade Park are not individually outlined, requiring direct contact with the park for more information. The program is not ACA accredited, which is common for municipal park programs. Social media presence is strong through the main Miami-Dade Parks accounts on Instagram (@miamidadeparks) and Facebook (MiamiDadeParks), which promote various park activities, including summer camps. The cost is listed as $40 per week, making it a highly affordable option for families (miamidade.gov/summercamps/). The program caters to children aged 6-14, providing structured activities during the summer break.
