Attention Parents!
As the holidays approach, kids in grades K–5 will be off from school. To keep your children active, engaged, and safe, Manatee County offers Holiday Camps featuring exciting activities like swimming, arts and crafts, PE games, and a game room. You can register online or in person at the G.T. Bray and John Marble Recreation Centers.
Holiday Camps are available during Spring and Winter Breaks, following the Manatee County Public School calendar. Please note that changes to the school calendar, such as make-up dates, may affect Holiday Camp schedules. Camps have limited capacity and are held at the (West Campus) G.T. Bray Park and (East Campus) John Marble Recreation Centers.
Sign up early to secure your spot!
Registration for Holiday Camps open on October 1.
Please note that registering for one session of Holiday Blast Camp does not guarantee your campers spot in additional sessions. You will need to pay for the individual sessions you would like your camper to attend before their spot is held.
