Summer is coming and it's not too early to start making arrangements for your children to participate in one or more of the various local activities available. You could create some wonderful life-long memories for your children by involving them in a program designed to help expand or develop an area of interest or to introduce them to a whole new range of experiences and people. Many of the more popular programs will fill up early. So, in an attempt to help you to reduce stress in your life, the Health Unit staff compiled some information about summer programs for kids. The Refuge will conduct the Refuge Academy Program in June.
Plans are still in development.
The Refuge also offers two programs for children ages 5-12, visiting the refuge. Accomack County Parks and Recreation Department will sponsor Summer Fun Camps at the local elementary schools. This is a five-week program which begins July 6. Kids must already be attending classes in the 4th grade and be at least 9 years old. The only other requirement is the desire to have a great time.
