Camp has officially wrapped up for the summer! It’s been an action-packed season at the Flagler County Youth Center, filled with exciting field trips, endless games, and friendly competitions. Each day brought something new to keep our campers active, engaged, and safe.

This year’s Red, White, and Blue Tournament made its return, and we’re excited to congratulate the White team for their victory—and a well-deserved pizza party as their prize!

A huge thank you goes out to our dedicated staff and supportive parents for making this summer a success. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back next year!

If you weren’t able to register your child this time around, keep an eye out for the 2026 registration form, which will be available in March. For any questions about the summer camp program, please reach out to Brandon Seminara at SeminaraB@FlaglerSchools.com.

We were excited to partner with the University of North Florida to participate in their Nourish to Flourish Nutrition Program. Nourish to Flourish was a free, four-week program from the UNF Center for Nutrition & Food Security, designed to improve childhood health by addressing food insecurity and promoting healthy habits.

The program included engaging, hands-on activities such as nutrition education, cooking demonstrations, and weekly food baskets. During the final session, several students suggested bringing the program back in the future.

The Flagler County Youth Center is organized by youth for youth, and is a fun, safe and supervised location for participants to attend. The Youth Center also features numerous activities and programs throughout the entire year.

We’re excited to share that our lobby is currently undergoing a renovation. The updated space includes new safety features and an additional public access restroom to better serve our visitors. We’d like to thank the Flagler Schools Maintenance Department for getting this project started. The renovation is nearly complete, and we’re looking forward to showcasing the new lobby on the first day of school.

The Student Advisory Council is seeking new members for the 2025–2026 school year. SAC is the organizing body of the Flagler County Youth Center and is responsible for setting and enforcing facility rules and regulations, as well as creating and participating in various community service events and projects.

Students who participate will earn community service hours, and seniors are eligible to apply for a scholarship sponsored by the Youth Center.

It takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays each month. The fall program will start on August 26th and will be held on Tuesdays from 11 AM to 1 PM.

Our Great Minds Summer Camp wrapped up on July 10th with a heartwarming student performance for families and staff to enjoy. Teachers and staff also hosted a small ceremony to recognize each camper with a certificate of completion. Throughout the summer, students explored subjects like English literature and enjoyed exciting field trips, including a live theater performance of Percy Jackson and a fun-filled day at Daytona Lagoon water park. It was a summer full of learning, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

A special thank you to the Flagler Education Foundation, Flagler Schools Federal Programs, and the George Washington Carver Foundation for making this incredible experience possible.

We can’t wait to see everyone again next year!

School resumes on August 11th.
