2020 Camp Season

The Phenix City 2020 Camp Season is structured differently due to COVID-19. The Parks and Recreation Department is taking the necessary precautions in order to keep campers and employees safe, as well as implementing several “mini-camp” sessions in order to give as many children the opportunity to attend while still limiting group sizes. Camps are offered at the following facilities:

  • Phenix City Youth Center
  • Roy Martin Center
  • Spencer Recreation Center

Structure

Mini-camp will consist of four two-week sessions starting June 8, 2020. Camp will be held Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Eastern Time. Fridays will be used for an additional deep cleaning of the recreation centers. Each session is limited to a total of 20 campers. Parents / guardians may only register their child / children for ONE session this camp season in order to allow as many campers to participate as possible. No refunds.
