Busy start for summer recreation program signups
The snow may still be on the ground, but summer will come soon enough.
With hopes that restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic will ease, local recreation departments are either planning, or have already announced, summer recreation programs.
Medfield Recreation opened registration for its Discovery and Adventure camps on Feb. 4; according to director Kevin Ryder, “The numbers are looking good … we are already at the numbers from last year, and it’s only February.”
Last summer, pandemic restrictions led to limited hours for camp, no trips to Hinckley Swim Pond and no field trips. For this summer, Ryder said they are planning for full-day camp (9 a.m.-4 p.m.), with field trips on standby pending guidelines from the state.
