Knoxville Parks & Recreation Launches K.O.R.E. Summer Camp

Posted: 05/03/2018
Knoxville youth will have the chance at a daily adventure this summer break with the City’s recently revamped K.O.R.E. Summer Camp, administered by Knoxville Parks and Recreation.

Standing for Knoxville Outdoor Recreation Experience, the K.O.R.E. Summer Camp is offered to children ages 6 to 12 years old at 10 centers throughout the city. Parks and Recreation is also offering a teen camp for 13- to 15-year-olds at Cal Johnson Recreation Center, 507 Hall of Fame Drive.

This year, the hours will be extended, running Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The camp starts Monday, June 4, 2018, and runs through Friday, July 27, 2018. There will be no camp the week of July 2-6.

Children will enjoy weekly activities and field trips, including swimming, intramural sports with other community centers, passive activities, art activities, and trips to the Tennessee Theatre, Main Event, NASCAR Speedpark, Kentucky Splash Waterpark, and more.

Cost is $20 per child per week. Each center provides a combo of either breakfast and lunch or lunch and a snack. Field trip costs are included in the weekly fee. A registration fee ($20 for City residents, $40 for non-residents) is due by June 1, 2018, along with the first week’s fee. A late registration fee will be applied after June 1.
