Goodyear Drop-In Summer Recreation Program - Half Day AM

Multiple Locations · $26/week

Morning half-day summer recreation program offering supervised activities for children during school breaks.

▌ Editor's read The provided URL leads to the City of Goodyear's Parks & Recreation 'Break Camps' page, which includes information on their 'Drop-In Summer Recreation Program - Half Day AM'. This program is clearly operated by the City of Goodyear, indicating a municipal-parks ownership type. The website states the program is for children aged 6-12 and runs from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, confirming it as a day program. The cost is listed as $26 per week, making it a very affordable option. While the page mentions 'supervised activities' and 'social interaction', it does not provide specific details about the daily schedule, staff-to-camper ratios, or whether staff undergo background checks. There is no mention of ACA accreditation, and a search of the ACA directory did not yield results for this specific program. Social media handles for the City of Goodyear (@goodyearaz on Instagram and facebook.com/goodyearaz) were found, but they primarily promote general city events rather than specific camp details.
