▌ Editor's read The Recreation Summer Camp at Callahan Neighborhood Center is a day camp operated by the City of Orlando Parks and Recreation Department.

The camp is not listed in the ACA directory, so its accreditation status is unknown. The program type is clearly day camp, offering activities from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. The City of Orlando's main Facebook page (@cityoforlando) is linked, but no specific social media for the Callahan Center camp was found.

Who thrives here Ages 5–14

Recreation Summer Camp - Callahan Neighborhood Center sits in the upper-elementary to middle-school window where specialization starts to mean something. Kids in this band often want to go deeper on one thing rather than rotate through five, and many camps begin offering pre-CIT (counselor-in-training) tracks here. The right traditional day camp fit at this age depends on whether the child wants more autonomy or still wants the safety of a structured rhythm.
