Summer Day Camps with City of Dickson Parks & Recreation are designed to give kids a fun, active, and well-rounded experience—while giving parents peace of mind. One of the ways we do that is through activity tracks, which allow campers to explore different interests throughout the day without being locked into a single activity all week. This structure keeps camp engaging, flexible, and developmentally appropriate for a wide range of ages and interests. What Are Activity Tracks? Activity tracks are themed blocks of time built into the camp day. Rather than doing the same activity all day, campers rotate through different types of programming that may include outdoor play, creative projects, group games, enrichment activities, and structured social time. Tracks help ensure campers stay active and engaged while allowing staff to adjust activities based on weather, group size, and camper needs. A Sample Camp Day (For Example Only) To help parents understand how activity tracks work, below is an example schedule for explanation purposes only. Actual camp schedules will vary by location, age group, and week. Example Schedule (Not Final): 8:00–9:00 a.m. — Arrival, check-in, and free play 9:00–10:15 a.m. — Activity Track 1 (outdoor games or sports) 10:30–11:45 a.m. — Activity Track 2 (creative or enrichment activities) 12:00–12:45 p.m. — Lunch and supervised downtime 1:00–2:15 p.m. — Activity Track 3 (nature activities or themed programming) 2:30–3:30 p.m. — Activity Track 4 (group games or special activities) 3:30–4:00 p.m. — Wrap-up and pickup Again, this schedule is only meant to show how activity tracks may be structured. The actual daily schedule will look different. Camp Schedule & Supervision Camp runs Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Campers are supervised at all times by Parks & Recreation staff, with safety, engagement, and positive behavior being top priorities throughout the day. Camp Pricing Camp fees are charged per camp session, not per day. Each camp session requires its own registration and fee. Pricing is based on residency, and discounts may be available for families registering multiple children. Specific camp dates, fees, and availability will be shared as registration opens. Why Activity Tracks Benefit Campers Activity tracks allow campers to experience a variety of activities while preventing fatigue or boredom. This structure supports physical activity, creativity, social skills, and teamwork—all within a predictable routine that helps kids feel comfortable and confident. Tracks also give staff flexibility to adapt programming based on weather, special guests, field trips, or camper needs. How to Register To register your child for Summer Day Camp or to ask questions about pricing, schedules, or availability, please contact the Parks Office directly. City of Dickson Parks & Recreation Office: (615) 446-1721 Staff will be happy to help guide you through the registration process and answer any questions you may have. Looking Ahead to Summer Our Summer Day Camps are built to be fun, active, and inclusive—while still providing structure families can rely on. Activity tracks help us offer a dynamic camp experience that keeps kids engaged and excited all summer long. We look forward to another great summer with our camp families.
