ANALYSIS
The Parks and Recreation Department (the "Department') offers fun filled summer camp
programs for toddlers and school aged children in grades K-12 at South Pointe Park, Flamingo
Park, Scott Rakow Youth Center, Muss Park, and North Shore Park.
This past summer, the nine (9) week Camp began on June 10, 2024 and concluded on August 9,
2024. Camp hours were Monday -Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and included activities such
as arts and crafts, sports, swimming, ice skating, bowling, field trips, special events, and more.
The fee for Miami Beach residents was $803.00 (sibling rate: $401.50) and the non-resident fee
was $1,339.00.
A total of 905 children enrolled in the 2024 Camp, and due to high demand, certain age groups,
at different facilities, reached capacity quickly. The 2024 wait list capped at 190.

Camp capacity is based on venue occupancy and recommended staff -to -child ratios, for safety
purposes, licensing, and to maintain the quality of the Camp experience.
To meet FERC's direction to explore creative new spaces for expansion, the Department
collaborated with the Economic Development Department, Asset Management Division, and
Education and Performance Initiatives teams to examine achievable options.
South Shore Community Center
The Department has explored the South Shore Community Center as a potential use for an
additional programming site not only for summer camp, but also for multi -generational programs
for toddlers, adults, and seniors. The space on the community center's first floor can be used for
programs such as Playtime, martial arts, senior yoga, senior chair aerobics, and most importantly,
summer camp. The space can host up to 80 campers from ages Kindergarten through 3rd grades
for the summer. Having this additional location will alleviate the wait list, which reached up to 190
during the summer of 2024,
In order to begin operating daily programming and summer camp from the South Shore
Community Center, there are some immediate one-time purchases/renovations that need to be
made for approximately $98,500,00. These purchases include repairs, furniture, technology,
among other items. Long-term capital improvement projects can be requested through the budget
process.
Using the space for year-round programming and summer camp also comes with an increase in
operating expenses and personnel expenses, which are not currently part of the Department's
approved FY 2025 budget.
Based on preliminary review, below is the budget request for FY 2025:
Estimated Operating Expenses: $143.000.00
Estimated Personnel Expenses: $332,200.00
Estimated Revenue: $80,000.00
- Estimated Loss: ($395,200.00)
The Department will work with the Office of Management and Budget to refine the request
Continuous Research
The Department will continue looking into partnerships with public/private/charter schools in
Miami Beach to help support this initiative.
