Day Camps & Playgrounds

Thank you for visiting! We are excited that you are interested in learning more about our Linden Recreation Day Camps & Playgrounds!

Day Camps

Summer Camp is approaching! Camp is available for grades K–6. Attending summer camp this year would be a wonderful opportunity for kids to keep their minds and bodies active. At Linden Summer Day Camp, kids get to learn about nature, take on new responsibilities, gain independence, and develop essential social skills and new relationships. We really encourage parents to give their kids the gift of camp so that every child can benefit from the experience. Sign up now so we can create memories that will last a lifetime!
