- Summer Programs
Friday, April 19, 2024
We’re a few months away from summer vacation, but summer registration for programs is currently open to residents!
There’s no time like today to get a head start on our summer scheduling. Our Programs and Athletics team planned an extravagant summer season with a program for every need and interest.
For our little creatives, we have a wide range of recreational art programs to choose from. Whether your kiddo loves yoga, ballet, chess, magic, or music, there’s a class or program for them. If your child is interested in STEAM, our science-based camps will pique their interest. From film-making, and video game design, to robotics and engineering, there’s a fun and educational program for your future STEAM professional. Ready to secure your spot? Register for summer programs today.
If your child is more interested in sports, check out our summer athletics season. Summer is the best time for your athlete to perfect their skills during the school break. Registration for Girls’ Volleyball and Summer Basketball is now open. Join a team and get ready to leave it all on the court. Our Athletics staff have also put together a fun roster of Athletic programs for those wanting to improve their skills without the commitment of being on a team.
Don’t wait to secure your spots for any of these programs. Get in your registration soon! Registration for non-residents opens on April 17.
Summer Camp Mania is the place to be if you’re a kid spending your summer in Southlake!
Camp is well-underway, and the kiddos are having a great time. Since parents don’t get the opportunity to shadow their kiddos during the day, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to share the incredible schedules our campers enjoy! No two days are alike, and every week has a unique theme to set the tone for the activities we do.
A Day in the Life of a Camp Mania Camper:
7:30- 9:00 AM
Campers wake up bright and early to make it on time for the first activity. Structured activities begin at 9:00 AM, but parents can start dropping off their kiddos starting at 8:30 AM. This is a time for free play and socialization!
9:00- 9:30 AM
Welcome to the Opening Ceremony. This is the perfect time to orient campers and prepare them for the day ahead! It wouldn’t be camp without singing some camp songs, reciting the camp creed, and going over the expectations for the day.
9:30- 10:00 AM
Time for a quick huddle/ ice breaker game! Camp favorites include the Human Knot, Freeze Dance, and Telephone!
10:00- 11:00 AM
Fun in the sun! It’s time for some outdoor playtime! Depending on the day we could be playing games or cooling off with waterslides!
11:00 -12:00 PM
Lunch! Time to take a break from all the activity and enjoy a delicious home-packed lunch! This is also the best time to talk with friends.
12:00- 1:00 PM
Time to hit the gym! This is the time of day to work on team building and friendly competition with crowd-favorites like volleyball and Powerball. On Fridays, we enjoy splashing in the water at the Champions Club Aquatics Center.
1:00- 2:00 PM
Time to get creative! During this hour, Campers break up into their groups to enjoy a fun craft or STEM activity. The highlight is always taking these crafts home to share with mom and dad!
2:00- 2:30 PM
Snack Time! All that playing and creating sure works up an appetite. Snack time is always a welcome break in a day full of fun.
2:30- 4:00 PM
Time for more incredible activities! Each day is different, but there is something for everyone! On Monday’s we watch movies, Tuesdays we have inflatables, Wednesdays are field trip days, Thursdays we have guest performances, and Fridays end the week with delicious Kona Ice!
4:00-4:30 PM
Camper Choice. After a busy day of scheduled activities, campers get to decide how to spend their final 30 minutes.
4:30- 5:30
Check- Out. Time to say goodbye to our friends and Camp Counselors and get ready to do it all over again!
Every day is an adventure at Camp Mania!

Summer is almost here! That means it’s time to start registering for all the great things Southlake Parks and Recreation has planned. In preparation for the opening of The Marq Southlake Champions Club in summer of 2018, Parks and Recreation is changing registration software. The new software, CSI, will replace the current registration software, Active Network, and will go live Monday, April 3.
When participants go to register for programs they will notice the website looks a little different. Now, instead of having to search for an activity, you will be able to select a category to begin the search process.
One important transition note to keep in mind: All users will have to create a new account. Account information will NOT carry over from Active Network.
What does this mean for me?
Before actually registering for a program, you will be prompted to create a new account. Because CSI will also be used once Champions Club is fully operational, it will look like you are registering for a membership. Don’t worry, when you are asked to select your membership type, simply select the “Patron” membership and Parks and Recreation as the site. This will allow you to register as you normally would.
You will need to create your new account before you are able to register for summer programs like Camp Mania or Basketball, to name a few. Parents, when you are completing the account registration, be sure to list yourself as the “main member” on the account. Other family members, like spouses and children, will become “sub-members” on the account.
We understand change can sometime be confusing. We’re here to help! You can find step-by-step instructions to help you set up you new CSI account at SouthlakeParksandRec.com or you can call us at (817) 748-8019.
