Butzel Family Center Summer Day Camp

Butzel Family Center

A traditional summer day camp offered by the City of Detroit Parks & Recreation at Butzel Family Center.

▌ Editor's read The provided URL leads to the City of Detroit Parks and Recreation Department's online registration portal, specifically for summer camp programs. While it confirms the existence of a 'Recreation Summer Day Camp' at the Butzel Family Center, detailed information about the camp's specific activities, staff qualifications, safety protocols, or daily schedule is not readily available on this page. The camp is clearly a day camp program, and its affiliation with the City of Detroit indicates a municipal-parks ownership type. There is no mention of ACA accreditation, state licensing, or specific staff-to-camper ratios. Google reviews for the Butzel Family Center itself are generally positive, with a 4.3-star rating from 100+ reviews, often praising the facilities and community programs, but these do not specifically address the summer camp program. Social media handles specific to the camp were not found, though the City of Detroit Parks and Recreation likely has a presence.
