POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Cheers to two years of Camp Ignite! St. Petersburg Fire Rescue, St. Petersburg Parks & Recreation, and the Pinellas County Urban League joined forces to encourage and empower a group of middle school-aged young ladies in a 3-day camp where they learned the basics of being a first responder. This year’s group nearly DOUBLED from last year’s 10 participants.

Partnership is crucial to empowering our young people to realize their full potential. Camp Ignite represents our city’s broader commitment to exposing young people to the incredible career opportunities available right here in St. Pete. Congratulations to the camp graduates, and special thanks to SPFR Chief Keith Watts and Urban League CEO Nikki Gaskin-Capehart for your leadership!

Excited to see hundreds of neighbors learning and sharing powerful knowledge in the areas of nutrition, fitness, and medicine. And we had a lot of fun!

For the past week, we’ve enjoyed doing laps at the North Shore aquatic complex, and it’s the best spot to catch the sunrise. ✨

We’re also always here for a bit of swimming ASMR.

It's open year round and features a 50 meter pool with diving board, 25 meter training pool with zero depth entry, a play pool with a giant flume slide, splash pad, and accessible zero depth entry.

A monthly swim to stay fit membership costs just $35, or you can pay $7 for the day.
