Youth Summer Day Camp 2022
2022 Lottery has ended.
The 2022 Youth Summer Day Camp is the place for exciting adventures and a summer of memories!
Jupiter Recreation takes great pride in offering quality camp programs and activities. The goal of our camp program is to provide a positive summer experience for children that is safe, fun and rewarding for all. Our mission is to recruit dedicated and enthusiastic counselors to ensure the best youth programs for the children of Jupiter. Safety and staffing continues to be the first priority for our camp program. Due to the ongoing challenges of recruitment and hiring of qualified staff, the overall capacity of the 2022 Day Camp will be dictated by the number of employees we are able to hire.

On Friday, April 8th parents will be contacted via email if their child was assigned a space in camp. Once a parent has been contacted that their child has been reserved a space, they will have 4 days (Monday, April 11th-Thursday, April 14th) to come in person to the Jupiter Community Center to present their proof of residency, child’s birth certificate (if applicable) and pay the deposit for their space.
