Manatee County Blast Camps

The Manatee County Sports & Leisure Services Department welcomes you and your children, Ages 5 to 13, to join us for fun filled Summer and Holiday Camps. We have planned many exciting arts and crafts, games, and STEM activities to have a fun and safe adventure! The Blast Camp is dedicated to keeping kids active and offers exciting opportunities to learn, experience, and create lifelong memories.  

Our goal is to offer a variety of recreational camp opportunities that meet the needs of the community in a safe and fun environment. Register only for the weeks you would like for your child to attend. This flexibility allows you to create the program that works best for you, your family, and your budget.

Note: The $30 Summer Camp Registration Fee does not guarantee your child’s space in our camp, a specific week, or trip.  Due to our camp’s popularity and to ensure your child’s enjoyment in camp, weekly limits on registration will be set for each week. Space will only be held for the weeks you pay for.
