Summer Camp at Lincoln Park
City of Riverside summer camp offering recreational activities, sports, and crafts for youth.
▌ Editor's read The City of Riverside Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department operates a summer day camp at Lincoln Park, as indicated on their official website under the 'Camps' section (riversideca.gov/park_rec/programs-sports/youth/camps). This camp is part of a broader offering of youth programs by the city. The program type is clearly 'day camp' as it is listed under 'Summer Day Camps' and does not mention overnight stays. The owner type is 'municipal-parks' given it is run by the City of Riverside's Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department. There is no mention of ACA accreditation on the website, and a search of the ACA directory did not yield results for this specific camp. The website does not provide specific details regarding staff-to-camper ratios or explicit language about staff background checks. Social media handles for the department are @riversideparkandrec on Instagram and 'riversideparkandrec' on Facebook, where they promote various city programs, including youth activities.
