The summer of 2020 sure looks different to kids just trying to have fun during the COVID 19 pandemic. But, the Southampton Town Parks and Recreation Department has designed a summer program to help keep kids engaged and safe while following safety guidelines during the Pandemic.
Two playground program sessions will be offered to children who are Southampton Town residents and attended elementary school (2-6 grades) this past school year. Each playground program will be staffed by counselors who will organize sports, arts & crafts, active & quiet games & special event days. Please provide your child with a beverage and a snack each day.
Each child may register for ONE or BOTH “SUMMER FUN” sessions. Registrations will be accepted, in person at the Parks & Recreation Office in Hampton Bays. Please review rules, and print and complete waiver form, which can be found on the Town’s website, to bring to registration. There will be NO registration at the camps.
