Manatee County Parks and Natural Resources Summer Blast Camps

The Manatee County Sports & Leisure Services Department welcomes you and your children to another exciting summer camp at one of our two locations. This year's Summer Blast Camp is dedicated to keeping kids active and offering exciting opportunities to learn, experience, and create lifelong memories.

Sprinkled throughout each week, we will offer activities that include sports, art, STEM, reading, fun-filled field trips and so much more.

Our goal is to offer a variety of recreational summer camp opportunities that meet the needs of the community in a safe and fun environment. Register for only the weeks you need or pick and choose which weeks your child would like to attend. This flexibility allows you to create the program that works best for you, your family, and your budget.
