Summer Is Here and that means kids will start saying they are bored a week into summer vacation.
One of the best ways to keep your kids out of trouble and keeping them occupied this summer is having them participate in structured activities. Remember when you were a kid, used to make those potholders on your own little weaving loom. Crafts are always fun!
Here is something for the kids to do starting June 29th. The City of Pittsfield Department of Community Development Recreation Program will be doing “Make Your Own Summer of Fun” activities will be held at various city parks through August 26.
“Make Your Own Summer of Fun” offers a variety of recreation activities to Pittsfield children at no cost . Drop-in, say hello, pick up supplies for fun summer activity, and/or participate when a special activity is scheduled.
The summer activities begin Tuesday, June 29 at the Common with Make Your Own Book/Journal from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Thursday, July 1 will be Draw/Color Your Own Masterpiece at Durant Park from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. The program will run for nine weeks and rotate between several parks.
An accompanying adult is recommended when a participant picks up materials or participates in a special activity. For more information, please contact Becky Manship, the Recreation Activities Coordinator, at 499-9371.
