2011 Summer Activities

We will update in March for all of our summer programs!

Weekly Camps

Our Sport Fun Camps are designed for the beginner and intermediate levels of experience in each sport.  Each “Camp” will run for one week, Monday through Friday and will take place in two convenient locations.  Each week will feature a different sport and activities will include fun drills for skills, relays, mini games and a whole lot of FUN!

The best part of these Sport Fun Camps…they are FREE!!  This is a drop in program so pre-registration is not necessary.  Just bring your children to the weeks that interest them the most.  We encourage all Town children who are school aged to attend one or both parks and try the activities.  Our “Camp” staff is hoping for a banner year and for record numbers of enthusiastic participants.  The schedule is as follows:

9-11am Cumberland Head Recreation Park on Oswego Lane.

12-2pm  East Morrisonville Recreation Park on Bullis Road.

Week 1 (June 27 - July 1)                 Tennis Camp
