▌ Editor's read The Miami-Dade County Parks summer camp program, including the Hammocks Community Park location, is operated by Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces, making it a municipal-owned entity (miamidade.gov/summercamps/). The program is a day camp, offering activities from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with extended care options (miamidade.gov/summercamps/). The website explicitly states that 'All camp staff are screened and fingerprinted' and undergo background checks, indicating a commitment to safety (miamidade.gov/summercamps/).

Social media presence is strong through the main Miami-Dade Parks accounts on Instagram (@miamidadeparks) and Facebook (MiamiDadeParks), which frequently promote the summer camp offerings.
