If I would of known about this place sooner I would of used them all summer!!!…read more I was recommended to this summer camp by my boss. This is the first year my son goes to summer camp so naturally not knowing where to place him I put him in a number of camps. This by far was his favorite. Everyday he went back excited to be part of the camp. They had numerous sports and activities to keep them busy which included literally every sport you can imagine. They also had movie days, water days, time to reflect with a journal, and even board games. I was impressed with how great they were with the kids and how the my son truly enjoyed his time here. I will be placing him here next year the whole summer if it is available. Thank you WASA!!!

Wow, what a spot. Located right on the river - so you can watch all the boats sail by. Awesome…read morespot.!!! Here is some info about this wonderful area - Named after the Cuban patriot and poet who devoted his life to the idea of liberating his country, Jose Marti Park is a 1.7 acre green space along the Miami River, just minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown Miami. Popular with locals and visitors of all ages looking for a quick escape, the park features a public riverwalk that runs the length of its grounds with benches where you can read a book and watch boats float by. Recreational Activities Among the park's recreational features are indoor and outdoor basketball courts, an indoor gym, recreation building and picnic tables. Younger visitors can play in the park's large playground, which features a variety of structures for climbing, swinging and sliding, plus a covered play area and a grassy field for kickball and other games. Pool & Water Aerobics A six-lane, 25-meter pool at Jose Marti Park is the ideal spot for lap swimmers, with some or all lanes dedicated to lap swimming at various times throughout the week. There's also a learn to swim program and water aerobics classes. Yoga & Community Activities In need of a little centering after a hectic day? Drop in for free yoga classes held Tuesdays on a first-come, first-serve basis. The park also offers other community-based activities like after-school programs and summer camps.

José Martí is considered to be a Cuban national hero. Many parks and monuments throughout South…read moreFlorida are named in his honor. He was a poet, revolutionary philosopher, journalist, translator, professor, publisher, and author of "Cultivo Una Rosa Blanca" . He dedicated his life to the promotion of liberty and political independence for Cuba. His death during a battle against Spanish troops at the Battle of Dos Ríos was used to rally people to the cause of the independence of Cuba from Spain. The land the park is on has a lot of history. This area was used by the Tequesta people around 400 AD. In 1982 while developing the park, underneath I-95, an ancient Tequesta camp was discovered. Pottery shards, shell tools, arow heads, and a woman's grave were excavated. In 1959 Fidel Castro took over Cuba transforming it into a communist state. Refugees began fleeing the island for Miami. In 1980, 4,000 Cuban political refugees who fled Cuba during the Mariel boat lift took refuge in a tent city here for two months. On October 27, 1984 the park opened and was dedicated to José Martí. The park is located directly on the historic Miami River where today you can enjoy stunning views as the boats sail by. Park amenities include a public pool, playground, outdoor fitness equipment, basketball court, picnic tables, and a community center offering summer and winter camps, and youth and teen programs. The park also has a bust of José Martí donated to the city by Cuba in the 1950s. José Martí park is part of the Miami River Greenway, a 6.2 mile trail that begins at Bayfront Park and ends at NW 24th Ave. The trail links neighborhoods, businesses, cultural attractions, historic sites, and nine public parks along both banks of the Miami River.

I visited the Crandon Park Nature Center in November 2019 with a group of friends for a Key…read moreBiscayne Kayak Adventure with Miami EcoAdventures. This is one of the most stunning places to kayak in Miami! The ecotour takes you along the shoreline of Crandon Park's Bear Cut Preserve, one of the only natural beaches left in the greater Miami area. The kayaking and pace is leisurely and the route is shallow (max 5 feet) which allows you to see the beautiful seagrass beds and sand flats. At one point we even saw a stingray glide beneath us! The tour takes you to the northern end of Key Biscayne where you get to check out a fossilized mangrove reef, a structure that formed over 6000 years ago and one of only two in the world, which was teeming with fish! After checking out the reef, we glided in to the mangroves where we could literally hear a pin drop, it was so quiet. Such a peaceful spot for a water break and to learn from our naturalists about the importance of the mangrove ecosystem not only for wildlife but for humans too. Overall, our naturalists were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and curated a great experience for us! After the 2.5 hour tour, we decided to have lunch in the courtyard of the nature center before checking out the exhibits. We learned that the nature center is run by Miami EcoAdventures and a non-profit, the Biscayne Nature Center and they also have Miami-Dade Public School teachers on-site who run field trips during the school year. They have some great displays featuring things like shells, sea beans, marine debris, sea turtles (complete with shells and skulls!), and some live exhibits including tanks with seahorses, jellyfish, and a collection of colorful reef fish. They also had an interpretive touch tank where we got to see some of the critters we saw on our tour (sea cucumbers and sea urchins) up close and learn from another knowledgeable naturalist about the special characteristics of each! From there, the naturalist gave us a trail brochure from the front desk and oriented us to one of the trails in the shaded hammock adjacent to the center where self-guided trail markers taught us about some of the unique plants and critters that call this ecosystem home. We spotted some beautiful flowering plants and watched as a woodpecker popped in and out of a dead tree. The brochure also outlined other self-guided trails, including two that form a loop into the northern portions of the Preserve that meet at an overlook where you can see the fossilized mangrove reef and mangroves from above. Overall, I highly recommend paying a visit to Miami EcoAdventures at Crandon Park, whether you're there for one of their exciting ecotours or just looking to get some insight into the unique ecosystems and wildlife while exploring Bear Cut Preserve, one of Miami's truly hidden gems!

As long as you're open to getting over the uncomfortable first meetings and let your guard down, this has the potential to be a perspective-altering experience, in a priceless way.

They also review math and other subjects. I registered him online and took him there for a week. At first I thought he wouldn't like it.

He absolutely loved the camp. He would actually ask me every day to come back. I tried to put him the week after but the camp was already sold out!

Bricks 4 Kidz links their lessons to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math standards. The students used legos to build spinners which they used to then create their own spin art! The staff was extremely helpful in planning our trip and making sure the lesson was appropriate for the kids. Lina and the rest of the staff were very helpful during the lesson and assisted all the students in the building process. After the lesson, the students were eager to take their artwork home to show their parents and were asking when they can come back! All in all, I absolutely recommend Bricks 4 Kidz and look forward to working with them again.
