Seasonal Camps & Programs

The City of Wilmington’s Parks & Recreation Department offers a wide array of seasonal programming opportunities. We believe that camps should provide the user with a safe environment in which to develop new skills and talents. Camp-based programming is also a place where children, and teens, develop a variety of social skills useful for conflict resolution and leadership. Join us in this special type of seasonal program where we all come together to have fun!
