We are very proud of the broad range of camps and activities that we offer Bayonne’s children each summer. For a variety of practical reasons, each program has a maximum number of registrations. As soon as the maximum is reached for a camp or activity, unfortunately, we have to close registration for that option. Registration began on May 1. The Recreation Division has already received more than 700 registrations for summer camps and programs, so I would urge parents to register their children for summer 2024 as soon as possible. I would like to thank Recreation Superintendent Pete Amadeo and his staff for putting together a great list of summer activities for Bayonne’s kids in 2024.
