When the kids are out of school this month, Parks & Recreation will be running three programs to keep the kids active and engaged while away from school. One is the April Vacation Week Adventures. For ages 8-12, this program will take field trips on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of vacation week to some popular destinations around Southern New England, and registration is limited to just 13 per day, and all three trips are just about sold out. The Tuesday trip to Patriot Place and the Wednesday trip to CoCo Key are both sold out! On Thursday, April 18, the program will be off to the newest craze, Launch Trampoline Park in Warwick, RI. Co-owned by former New England Patriots All-Pro Ty Law, kids will get a chance to bounce around this trampoline park and enjoy a game of dodgeball as well as a slice of pizza for lunch. A waiver will need to be signed by a parent for your child to attend this trip. We will have the waiver available at drop off. We have limited space left for this trip on Thursday.
Another option, for ages 6 to 12, will be a half day Multi-Sports Program in conjunction with John Smith Sports. The program will take place at McCarthy Park from 9am to 1pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (April 16-18), and participants will take part in a number of sports, from soccer and flag football to kickball and turf hockey. Registration deadline is Thursday!

If you are looking for a sports specific program during the vacation week, Parks & Recreation, in conjunction with the varsity baseball team at the high school, will offer a Baseball Skills and Drills Program. Taking place at the ball fields at McCarthy Park, kids ages 8 to 12 will be put through drills led by head coach Matt Marenghi and members of the baseball team. This program will take place on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, April 17-19.
