Give yourself a break and your kids some fun: Southborough Rec’s Summer programs

Today is the last day of Southborough public school until August 28th. Right now, the kids are as giddy as. . . well as kids just released for the summer. Parents may not be so giddy.

Summer can crawl by or fly by. It depends on how you enjoy it. For me, occasional half day camps are a lifesaver.

Starting next week, Southborough Recreation Department offers some wonderful camps. My kids had a blast at Kids’ Kamp last year. They also offer swim classes, sports camps, and even engineering camps.

You can check out Rec’s full brochure with details here. Below is a list of the youth programs offered this summer.
