Summer Camp Registration Begins the Week of April 4

As the temperatures warm up and the days get longer, thoughts of summer aren't too far away. If summer camp is part of your summer plans, we've got options for you. The popular Camp Swoosh and Playground Program camps are back, as are specialty camps through Skyhawks Sports Academy, Snapology and Livonia City FC.

Visit Livonia.gov/1449 via LivoniaParks.org to find out more about our various summer camp programs and plan for registration when it opens in a few weeks. Registration for most camps opens April 4 for Kirksey Recreation Center members, with Playground Program opening April 18.
