Summer is a time for fun, making friends and playing outdoors. Camp Kaleidoscope does that and much more. We will explore the natural world at White Deer Park while discovering hidden talents as campers try new activities and play new games at the Avery Street Recreation Center and Annex. To encourage creativity and challenge the imagination, youth will develop art and craft projects throughout the week. With exciting themes and a fresh approach to camp, each week will be a new adventure used to create special summer memories.

Camp Kaleidoscope is based out of the Avery Street Recreation Center and begins on Monday, Jun. 14. Parks and Recreation welcomes campers who have completed grades kindergarten through seventh. The doors to fun open each morning at 7:30 a.m., and children must be picked up by 6 p.m. Campers must bring their own lunch and afternoon snack each day. The weekly fee for Town of Garner residents is $75 per child and $98 for non-residents. In order to ensure everyone has a great time and there is a one to 12 ratio, there is a maximum of 48 children per week. Financial assistance is available for Garner residents with limited financial resources. There also is a weekly deposit system in place to assist with budgeting for the entire summer. Join Garner Parks and Recreation for Camp Kaleidoscope and see camp in a new light. Jun. 14-18: Lights! Camera! Action!
