County program includes a camp location in Edgewater

Volusia County has opened registration for its 2026 summer day camp program, giving Edgewater families an early chance to lock in child care and summer activities before spaces fill. The county says camps will run June 8 through July 24 at 12 locations across Volusia, including Indian River Elementary School, 650 Roberts Road, Edgewater.

The program is open to children ages 5 to 12 and operates from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. According to the county, camp activities will include indoor and outdoor games, arts and crafts, and field trips led by staff. For many local parents, the schedule offers a structured weekday option during the summer break while school is out.

What Edgewater parents should know

Online registration is open now through June 1. The county lists the cost as $90 per week, plus a one-time $25 registration fee. Families who already received summer camp scholarships through Volusia County are asked to email a copy of their voucher to the county before registering.

While the program is countywide, the inclusion of an Edgewater site is especially relevant for South Volusia residents who may prefer a nearby drop-off and pickup location instead of traveling farther north. Other nearby East Volusia sites include locations in Oak Hill and New Smyrna Beach, but the Roberts Road campus gives Edgewater families a local option within city limits.

Broader county rollout

The county says the summer camp program will be offered at a mix of school and park sites across both East and West Volusia. That broader footprint can help families who work in different parts of the county or need flexibility based on transportation and family schedules. The announcement comes as many households begin finalizing summer plans and balancing camp costs, work hours, and availability.

Because this is a county-run program, registration details and any scholarship questions will be handled through Volusia County Parks, Recreation and Culture. Parents interested in the Edgewater location should review the county registration page as soon as possible and confirm any required paperwork before the June deadline.

For more information, Volusia County says families can register online at the link provided in the county announcement and contact Volusia County Parks, Recreation and Culture at 386-736-5953 with questions. For Edgewater readers, this is one of the more practical county updates of the week: a local camp site, a clear registration window, and a summer option that may help families plan ahead.
