Attention Arlington parents! If you're on the prowl for a way to keep your little ones engaged and entertained during AISD's spring break from March 21-25, Arlington Parks & Recreation has got your back. They're rolling out spring break camps for kids aged 5 to 13 at a quintet of recreation centers across the city, known lovingly to locals as The American Dream City. These camps are not just about babysitting – they're venues for games and activities, and even provide an afternoon snack, just bring a sack lunch, and your kiddo is set for a day of fun, as per the City of Arlington.
Registration is open as of now, so don't dawdle if you're looking to secure a spot for your child. At $140 per child per week, it's a deal in this day and age, and for those with more than one ankle-biter, discounts are available for enrolling multiple children. Plus, if your bank account is feeling the pinch, Arlington Parks & Recreation is offering reduced rates for qualifying residents.
So let's break down the where's – we've got the Beacon Recreation Center, Dottie Lynn Recreation Center, Cliff Nelson Recreation Center, East Library and Recreation Center, and the Elzie Odom Athletic Center. Addresses and phone numbers for all locations dot the city map, ensuring there's a convenient spot no matter where you hang your hat in Arlington.
Remember, spaces fill up faster than a candy bowl at a kids' party, so locking in that spot sooner rather than later is the safest bet. Five locations mean convenience is king, but still, nothing's worse than a last-minute scramble, to find something to keep your child occupied during the break.
