Got to work over the Holidays? Kids out of school? What will you do with them?
The City of Dayton’s Department of Recreation and Youth Services will sponsor a day camp during the Winter Break at the Stuart Patterson Recreation Center, 238 Baltimore Street. The theme of the program is “A World’s Christmas,” and it will target youth ages 6-11. The program will allow children to explore how the Christmas holiday is celebrated in selected countries around the world. Each day, through crafts, cultural activities, games, snacks and field trips, children will learn about people in far away places and how their families and communities celebrate this time-honored holiday.
