MPRDKids Summer Camps - Seals Community Center
A summer day camp at Seals Community Center offering various recreational activities for children.
▌ Editor's read The MPRDKids Summer Camps are operated by the City of Mobile Parks and Recreation Department, as indicated by the URL and content on the 'About Us' section of the city's main website (cityofmobile.gov/parks-rec). The program is designed for children aged 5-12 and runs from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, as stated on the MPRDKids Summer Camps page. The cost is listed as $25 per week, making it a very affordable option for families. The camp is offered at multiple community centers, including Seals Community Center, as specified in the provided camp name. While the website provides general information about activities like arts and crafts, games, and field trips, it does not offer specific details on staff-to-camper ratios, staff background check policies, or detailed daily schedules. There is no mention of ACA accreditation on the website, and a search of the ACA directory did not yield results for this specific program. Social media handles for the City of Mobile (@cityofmobile on Instagram and 'cityofmobile' on Facebook) were found, but there isn't a dedicated social media presence specifically for MPRDKids Summer Camps.
