A Family Registration Fee will be applied at the time of registration for our full day camps. This is one fee per household of $25.

Your fees pay for all camp fees, one t-shirt, guest speakers, special events, and field trips. Campers are expected to bring lunch and snacks each day.

Your fees pay for the instructor fees, facility usage, and travel (if necessary).

Full Day Camps: All requests must be submitted in writing no later than Monday, May 1. A $25 processing fee will be charged for any changes to camp registrations. In addition, if a participant received a discounted rate for a Play Package Summer Deal, participants would lose the discount for all weeks of summer registration by removing a week or more from a registration. 

Sports and Specialty Camps: All requests must be submitted in writing no later than one week prior to the first day of camp. There is a $10 processing fee for all refunds and transfers.

Camps may be canceled due to a lack of enrollment. Please make every effort to pre-register weeks in advance so a camp will not be canceled unnecessarily.

Every attempt will be made to make a timely decision on the status of the camp when inclement weather is possible. Parents can call 727-518-3016 for cancellation information.

Example Scenarios:

• If it is raining in the morning prior to camp beginning, a decision will be made by staff by at least ½ hour prior to the start time as to whether camp will be canceled or not. Call 727-518-3016 to confirm

• If there is light rain (no lightning), the camp will continue. If the weather is more severe and the forecast calls for it to continue throughout the morning camp will be canceled. Call 727-518-3016 to confirm

• If camp begins and bad weather appears during the program, campers will be taken indoors or under shelter, until the weather passes, or until the end of camp. Campers may be picked up if this occurs

• If a day of camp is canceled a prorated amount for that day will be credited back to your membership

The City of Largo uses Procare. Procare is an online network that helps our department eliminate paper forms used to collect emergency contact information, waivers, consent, and medical information from families registering for our programs and activities. A valid email address is needed when registering for summer camp. All participants will receive an email following their registration inviting them to go online and complete the paperwork process. These emails will not go out until May.

The City of Largo strives to make its programs, services, and activities accessible to qualified individuals with disabilities. The City will make reasonable modifications to the programs, services, and activities outlined in this brochure to ensure accessibility to such individuals. If you feel you need a particular modification to access any service, please call 727-587-6720 at least seven days prior to the first class for assessment. We encourage all children to receive the benefits of recreation. 

Reasonable accommodations are assessed and made on a case-by-case basis. Campers should be able to:

• Have the ability to follow basic instructions

• Have the ability to function in a group structure

• Have the ability to participate in group activities

• Have independent bathroom skills

Camp swim lessons are available at Kid City and Cool Kids. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.

Photographs taken by the Recreation, Parks & Arts Department at camps or programs are often used in marketing material including print and web. If you do not wish to be photographed or have a family member photographed, please let the photographer or camp directors know in advance.
