About
Pasco County Summer Day Camp runs as a 7-week summer program and includes weekly field trips in the price of camp. All campers bring their own lunch and snack each day, and breakfast and lunch will only be provided by the school board at select locations that are still to be determined. To participate, each child must be able to use the restroom independently, have completed kindergarten, be able to follow directions and perform routine daily tasks without one-on-one guidance, and be comfortable in a 17:1 camper-to-counselor ratio.

Summer Day Camp Counselors are selected and screened through interviews, background checks, and FDLE Criminal History reports, with candidates sought who have a high school diploma or GED and experience working with children.

EPIC is an inclusive summer camp for children of varying abilities, has a 1:4 camper-to-counselor ratio, and includes an Inclusive Support Leader on-site at each EPIC location. The Summer Day Camp Resident Youth Scholarship Program offers 35% off the total price of camp for up to two children per family per calendar year, does not apply to Before & After Care, is not available to applicants receiving scholarships from other agencies, is subject to fund availability, and does not guarantee a camp spot.
