Bundle up, kids! The Department of Parks and Recreation is strapping on its boots to welcome youngsters to the chilly charms of the Winter Fun Program. Starting today, parents can shovel through the online registration process for a cool opportunity to keep their kids active during the holiday break. The gates to the digital sign-up swung open at 8 a.m., launching Kauai's latest seasonal initiative.
According to the county's official website, the Winter Fun Program is designed for kids from 5 to 11 years old, looking to frolic in a structured, supervised environment. The program, not reinventing the snowflake here, spans from December 22 to January 5 – Monday to Friday, excluding holidays. The daily drill runs from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., because even fun needs a schedule, apparently.
Parents interested in enrolling their children can glide over to the Winter Fun Program website and click on "Online Registration." Program sites sprinkled around the county include Kekaha, Kalāheo, and Līhu‘e neighborhood centers, along with the Anahola Clubhouse. The price tag to join the frosty festivities? A cool $50 per child, but that’s sans lunch—parents, pack those lunchboxes.
Spaces are as limited as snow in Hawaii, enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis, as mentioned on the county's official website. In an era of digital dashes for spots, this means don't be an ice statue; be swift. Parents are also tasked with providing lunch, beverages, and the quintessential snacks to replenish their young ones' energy reserves each day, because kids and hunger are an unfortunate duo, like snowmen and sunny days.
