River Center Adventure Summer Camp
Children have a captivating experience discovering Florida ecosystems, collecting fascinating marine critters, and getting out on the water around Burt Reynolds Park! With 4 counselors and just 12-16 campers per week, kids will explore the waterways of Jupiter, enjoy outdoor fun around Burt Reynolds Park, and indoor activities at the River Center in a safe, personal environment. Camp for the 2021 season will have important modifications and precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of our campers, volunteers, and staff members.
River Center summer camp registration is open to the public online starting April 1 at 9am. Families that were cancelled for 2020 summer camp can register early by phone starting March 19 at 9am.
Per the Loxahatchee River District’s Governing Board of Directors each camper is only allowed to sign up for one week of camp. If there are any spots left available come June 1st, we can allow families to register for more than one week.
Camp registration is on a first come, first served basis. Any cancellations will be filled from the established River Center waitlist.
