Hillsborough County offers Spring Break Camps, teen-only camp too
Posted on Mar 5th, 2013

Various parks throughout the county will be offering Spring Break Camp the week of March 11 through the 15 for students ages 5 - 15. Parents can drop campers off as early as 7:30 a.m., and pick them up as late as 6 p.m., allowing most to carry out their normal work week without a worry.
 
Meanwhile, organizers say your children will take part in a gamut of great activities, including arts and crafts, fitness, team sports, team building activities, recreational activities- and even field trips at some locations! 
 
The weekly rate is $38, and camp organizers say reduced rates of $30 and $20 will be available for students who have a current reduced or free lunch letter.
