Miami-Dade County Parks - Deerwood Bonita Lakes Park

14445 SW 122 Avenue

Miami-Dade County Parks offers affordable summer day camps at various park locations, providing supervised activities, field trips, and educational component...

▌ Editor's read The Miami-Dade County Parks summer camp program, including Deerwood Bonita Lakes Park, operates as a municipal entity, offering day camps across numerous locations (miamidade.gov/summercamps/). The program is not ACA accredited, as confirmed by a search of the ACA directory. While the website details various activities like sports, arts and crafts, and field trips, it does not explicitly state staff-to-camper ratios or provide specific language about background checks for all camp staff. The program is run by Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces, indicating a municipal ownership structure. Social media presence is strong through the main Miami-Dade Parks accounts on Instagram (@miamidadeparks) and Facebook (MiamiDadeParks), which frequently feature camp-related content. The camps are designed for children aged 6-14, offering a structured environment during summer months.
