NYC Parks Experience Summer Day Camp is open to children ages 6 to 13 and runs Monday through Friday July 8 through August 23 from 9am to 5pm. The cost is $500 for the whole summer, which must be paid in full at the time of registration. Extended 8am to 6pm hours are also available for an additional $75 fee at some locations.
