Trolley Safari

Parents, have your child join our “Trolley Troopers” as they guide your child to their next recreational adventure.

New to this year’s Half Day Summer Camp Program is the “Safari Adventure.” Children have the opportunity to explore their recreational interests in tennis, swimming, gymnastics and much more.

Parents, your child will no longer have to select just one camp experience at one location.  Nor will you have to worry about transporting your child between various camp sites.  The Coral Gables Parks and Recreation along with our friends at the Coral Gables Trolley have solved your transportation dilemma.

Children registered in any Coral Gables Parks and Recreation morning half day camp can now select an afternoon half day camp at one of these locations-Biltmore Tennis Center, Venetian Pool or the War Memorial Youth Center.

Children will be escorted onto the trolley and supervised as they are transported to the afternoon camp location of their choice.

PARTICIPATING CAMPS :

• Art Camp

• Petite Artist Camp

• Youth Center Basketball Camp

• Half Day Sports Camp

• John Crotty Basketball Camp

The weekly transportation fee is $25 in addition to the half day camp fee.

for more information.

This summer is going to be the perfect opportunity for your children to unwind and make new friends. Each week of the summer has different field trips, cool activities, new games and a special event at the end of each week. Art and Ceramics and Gymnastics classes will also be provided once a week.
