N/A · $200/week

A summer day camp for pre-teens and teens with activities, games, and field trips.

▌ Editor's read The provided URL leads to the City of Richardson Parks and Recreation Department's online activity registration portal, specifically for 'Teen Camp 2026' (anc.apm.activecommunities.com/richardsontx/activity/search?onlineSiteId=0&activity_select_param=2&activity_category_ids=35&viewMode=list). This indicates the camp is a municipal program. The camp is categorized as a 'day' program. While the specific details for 2026 are limited on this page, the general description for teen camps from Richardson Parks and Recreation typically includes activities and field trips. The City of Richardson Parks and Recreation has a Facebook page (@RichardsonParksandRec), which serves as a social media presence. There is no mention of ACA accreditation on the website, nor is there a state or provincial license number provided. Information regarding staff-to-camper ratios or specific background check policies for camp staff is not readily available on the registration page or linked general information. The camp appears to be a standard offering from the city's recreation department, suggesting a publicly funded and managed program.

Who thrives here Ages 11–15

Teen Camp is built for middle-school campers — an age where leadership tracks, deeper specialization, and identity exploration take over from generalist day-camp formats. community/rec center programs that thrive at this age publish a clear weekly progression rather than a rotating activity menu, and the staff-to-camper conversation usually matters more than the activity list.
