Palm Beach County’s West Boynton, Westgate & West Jupiter Recreation Facilities, as well as Aquatics, Okeeheelee Nature Center and Golf hosted a number of Summer & Specialty Camp programs to entertain kids during this year’s Summer Break. The kids went on field trips, learned about living healthy lifestyles through physical activity and healthy eating, played a number of games & activities, made tons of friends, and more!
Watch this short video for a recap of this year’s Summer Camp!
Since February, kids in West Jupiter Recreation Center’s after school program have helped revive and maintain a garden filled with tomatoes, herbs, onions, peppers, strawberries, and more delicious and nutritious fruits and vegetables!
The project was made possible using grant funds from the Walmart Foundation and National Recreation and Park Association. It teaches principles of the Florida Department of Health’s “5-2-1-0 Let’s Go!” initiative, which includes five or more fruits and vegetables a day, and one of more hour of physical activity.
West Jupiter Recreation Center is operated by the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department. We operate more than 80 regional, district, community, beach, and neighborhood parks, spanning several thousand acres. Our mission is to make the quality of life for Palm Beach County residents and visitors better by providing diverse, safe and affordable recreation services, welcoming parks, and enriching social and cultural experiences. This is achieved by promoting wellness, fostering environmental stewardship, contributing economic value, and by improving our community every day for this and future generations.

In June, the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department teamed up with Palm Beach County’s Office of Community Revitalization and the Office Depot Foundation to improve Palm Beach County’s Lake Worth West Park. More than 90 volunteers from all over the world helped paint the sidewalks, put in a garden bed, install a free library, and more. Two new pieces of inclusive playground equipment were also installed prior to the event. The Office Depot Foundation previously assisted in installing a new playground at the park a year prior, in coordination with Palm Beach County and Kaboom!
