Summer 2025 has been a highly active season for the Bayonne Recreation Division.  Our various summer camps and programs had a combined registration of 2,095.  Bayonne kids took part in more than 50 programs and camps, which covered everything from sports and other physical activities to vocational skills.

          On behalf of the City of Bayonne, I would like to thank Recreation Superintendent Pete Amadeo, the staff of the Recreation Division, and our camp directors and seasonal employees for offering such an outstanding range of activities in Summer 2025.  The City of Bayonne is proud to offer a great mixture of activities, so that our young residents can find something fun and positive to do before school starts again in September. 

We look forward to more great programs from the Recreation Division in future summers and throughout the year.
