We are so happy to announce that we will for the 3rd year in a row offer "Summer in Your Backyard" summer series in Woodstock.
 
What is "Summer in Your Backyard"?
A FREE Community Collaborative Summer Series that will take place 2 days a week for 3 weeks (schedule below) from 10-Noon, outside of the Community Room at Safford Commons

 
Open to all children in the Windsor Central Supervisory Union between Kindergarten and 6th grade.
 
A fun, lighthearted time for kiddos to get out of the house, see some peers and take part in some different activities with daily special guests from different area organizations such as ArtisTree, the National Park and VINS.
 
What about COVID-19?

We will be keeping our group size small, therefore it is important to register. We will only stay outside therefore "camp" is weather permitting. We will conduct health checks, practice social distancing, wear masks when we can't socially distance and follow regular hand washing and/or hand sanitizing schedule. See our full health and safety guidelines in our registration form. Subject to cancellation if needed due to COVID-19 restrictions.
