Zuccolo Day Camp

Providence · $100/week

A traditional summer day camp offering recreational activities, sports, arts and crafts, and field trips for children.

▌ Editor's read The Zuccolo Day Camp website loads successfully and is part of the Providence Parks and Recreation Department's program offerings. The camp is a traditional day camp for children aged 6-12, running from July 8th to August 16th, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The cost is notably low at $5 per week, indicating it is a publicly subsidized program. The camp is not listed in the ACA directory, so its accreditation status is unknown. No specific state license number is provided on the program page. The owner type is clearly municipal-parks, as it is run by the City of Providence. While no specific staff-to-camper ratio is published, the program is managed by a municipal department. The Providence Parks and Recreation Department has a Facebook page (@ProvidenceParksandRec), but no specific Instagram handle for the camp was found. Google reviews for 'Zuccolo Recreation Center' show a 4.4-star rating from 104 reviews, with comments generally praising the facility and programs, though specific camp reviews are not detailed.

Who thrives here Ages 6–12

Zuccolo Day Camp fits middle-elementary campers — old enough for skill-building to land, young enough that friend-group dynamics and counselor warmth still matter more than program rigor. Parents at this age band tend to prioritize a balanced rhythm of structured activity and unstructured play, which is the actual differentiator inside any given traditional day camp program.
