Oakland Park's 2026 Summer Camp Wraps with Full Registration, Offers Free Meals for Youth

Oakland Park's 2026 Summer Camp Experience at Lloyd Estates Elementary School concluded this summer with full registration. The city also provided free meals through its Summer BreakSpot program at the same location, ensuring children and teens had access to nutritious food throughout the summer months.

The Summer Camp Experience, which ran from June 8, 2026, provided a structured environment for children aged 5-12, from kindergarteners to exiting fifth graders. Campers explored different cultures each week through art, sports, food, and dance, with opportunities to select their own activities. Weekly field trips and special events every Friday were also part of the program. Camp hours ran from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with breakfast, lunch, and a snack included Monday through Thursday, and lunch and snack provided on Fridays.

Registration for the popular summer camp was conducted in two phases. Residents of Oakland Park registered from March 16 to March 27, 2026. Open registration then commenced on March 30, 2026, and continued until April 17, 2026, or until all available spots were filled, which occurred prior to the camp's start date.

Alongside the camp, the City of Oakland Park offered the Summer BreakSpot program at Lloyd Estates Elementary School, located at 750 NW 41st Street. This initiative provided balanced breakfasts and lunches at no cost for children and teens aged 18 and under. Meals were served Monday through Friday, with breakfast available from 9:00 AM to 9:30 AM and lunch from 11:30 AM to 12:00 PM. No registration was required for the Summer BreakSpot meals, making them easily accessible to eligible participants.
