Mini Canes Recreational Sports Camp

What do sport legends Michael Jordan, Chris Evert, and Dan Marino have in common?

They were all extremely active at an early age. At the Wellness Center, children will experience playtime at a whole new level. Special exercise classes and other activities geared toward the younger set encourage healthy lifestyles and habits. At Mini Canes Recreational Sports Camp, children age six through twelve can swim, play basketball and tennis, and take part in a variety of other indoor games. Named one of the top summer camps in Miami-Dade County by South Florida Parenting Magazine, the Mini Canes camp is run by energetic, well-qualified University of Miami professionals, Miami-Dade County teachers, and college students.
