Winter is rolling in, and with school breaks fast approaching, Arlington Parks, Recreation & Culture might just have the perfect solution to keep the kids from bouncing off the walls. They're offering Winter Camps designed for children ages 5 to 12, as reported by the City of Arlington. Set at five recreational hubs across The American Dream City, these camps promise a repertoire of games and activities sure to engage every child — just remember to pack them a sack lunch.
Registration is already open, and parents should snag a spot sooner rather than later. Depending on the chosen rec center, parents can expect fees to fall between $105-$150 per child for each week of programs. Not to leave anyone out in the cold, discounts are available for families registering multiple children, and reduced rates for residents are up for grabs if you qualify for financial assistance.
Curious about where to send your little campers? The Beacon Recreation Center, for example, is offering programs from December 19 to January 6, with varying rates — $125 for the main weeks and a cooler $50 for the shorter span after New Year's Day, as Schrock detailed in her article. And rest assured, your calls for more info won't fall on deaf ears; Beacon's team can be reached at 817-575-8340 should questions arise.
But that's just one location. There's the Dottie Lynn Recreation Center, with a similar schedule and fees topping out at $150, and the Cliff Nelson Recreation Center is matching that high note. While some parents might dial in the savings, choosing the East Library and Recreation Center or the Elzie Odom Athletic Center could keep costs down, charging only $105 for the same festive fun. If any doubts are lingering, give those centers a ring at 817-277-5001 or 817-459-6434, respectively. Careful not to get too carried away with too much fun per dollar, the opportunity is ripe for both budget-friendly holidays and energetic children.
