As we look on to see what direction Hurricane Dorian will take, there is one thing that is on the minds of Tampa Bay Area parents. What do we do with our children on Tuesday, September 3rd? Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties are all out of school which leaves many parents in a bind.
Below we have scoured the internet and social media pages for those places offering day camps for kids in the tri-county area. As we hear of more options, we will be sure to add them to this post. Feel free to contact us with any updates.
Tampa Parks & Recreation
They will be offering a free Non-School Day Camp, for ages 5 years old who attend kindergarten to 14 years old, on Tuesday, September 3rd while Tampa Bay Area schools are closed due to Hurricane Dorian. The community centers will be open from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm and parents will need to provide children with a lunch and snack for the day.
These camps are open to the public and no RecCard will be required to attend. Parents will be required to complete registration paperwork before dropping their children off at the community center. The paperwork will be available inside all community centers. Space is limited at certain sites which may require relocating to a different facility.
