Summer Activities

• Summer Children’s Program – For eight weeks beginning the Monday after school gets out in June there is a children’s program geared toward children from the ages of 3-12. This is an activity program rather than a full fledged babysitting program and hence we do ask that an adult remain available on the property in case the child does not wish to remain with the program. The program consists of a variety of games, crafts and sports. The program runs from Monday to Friday for 2 hours in the morning and afternoon.
