Summer Camps for ages 6–7 in St. Petersburg.
28 camps in St. Petersburg accept ages 6–7. Median week: $100.
By 6–7, St. Petersburg kids handle longer days and a wider activity menu — sports skills, basic STEM, beginner arts. The split that matters now is "structured curriculum" (a real instructor teaches a real thing for the week) vs. "supervised play" (counselors run rotations of mostly free activities). Both work; they're priced differently and parents should know which one they're buying.

↘ What to look for
For specialty camps, ask what the kid will leave with — a finished project, a measurable skill, a t-shirt? For traditional day camps, ask the daily schedule and whether siblings can be grouped. Extended care matters at this age — many work-day-shaped families need 8am–6pm, and not every camp covers it.
