Hey, parents in Marietta looking to shuffle off the kids during spring break: The City of Marietta's Parks & Recreation Department has got you covered with its Gem City Spring Break Camp. Got munchkins aged 6-12? They're in luck. From April 1-5, these rugrats can romp around the Custer Park Sports & Fitness Center, located at that oh-so-catchy address, 545 Kenneth E. Marcus Way, according to the City of Marietta official website.
Camp doesn't mean breaking the bank, either. City dwellers fork over $100 per kid, while non-residents cough up $120. And for the working stiffs who can't teleport to pick up Junior at 4:00pm, there's an extended hours option for an extra $25 per child. Early bird drop-offs and late pick-ups now stretch from 7:30am to 6:00pm.
But let’s get down to basics. Campers need to come loaded with a "cold" sack lunch every day – no hot meals here so forget it. And do everyone a favor: stuff a breakfast in 'em before they bounce through the camp doors. Also, pack a reusable water bottle because hydration is key and we're not savages.
Registrations are as easy as pie. Head down in person to the Custer Park joint, give 'em a ring at 770-794-5630, or do it with a click online. Don't dawdle, though. Who knows how many other parents have marked their calendars to offload their offspring for a sanity-saving week?
