If you’re still looking to sign your kids up for summer camps, Town Rec has a lot to offer. But only a couple options still have open registration for next week – Finn and Woodward half day camps and a Lego superhero camp.

The Finn and Woodward morning camps are Tuesday, July 5th – Friday, July 8th with a Stars & Stripes theme. Special features of the week at both schools include making patriotic tie dye T-shirts and face painting. As usual, kids will also enjoy games, crafts and the weekly ice cream truck visit.

Registration closes this Thursday (June 30th) – so act quickly.

Superhero Engineering camp registration has been extended – but act soon. (If you have trouble online, try contacting Rec directly. The phones are temporarily down, but you can email jhom@southboroughma.com.)

The 7/5-7/8 morning camp is for 5-6 year olds:

Save the world with LEGO® Super Heroes! Build the hideouts and vehicles of your favorite caped crusaders and learn what makes them not only Super Heroes, but Super Hero Engineers! An experienced Play-Well instructor guides young heroes as they design, build, and save a city where ingenuity and imagination can solve any conflict.

There are several options for the following week, including basketball, boys lacrosse, horseback riding, animal farming, golf, tennis clinics and more Finn & Woodward camp.

Basketball skills camp and Boys Lacrosse are each only offered only one week this summer – July 11-15. Registration for each is due by July 1st.

The morning basketball camp is geared for boys and girls grades 3-8:

Join Coach Isaiah Davis and his Game Time Training Staff for a fun week of basketball. Kids will play in a competitive environment, have a blast with our contests and learn during our skills sessions. A typical day of camp will consist of warm ups, skill-work/stations, learning basic basketball concepts, scrimmage, and contests. Participants will be evaluated on the first day and separated by age and ability. Each camper will leave with a tshirt and a report card from their camp coach equipping them with feedback and things to work on!

Boys Lacrosse morning camp is for ages 7-16:

PrimeTime Lacrosse Camps are designed to welcome new players to the game, help players who have been playing for a few years to improve their fundamentals and begin to introduce lacrosse team concepts, and assist experienced lacrosse players in taking their game to the next level as they prepare for high school lacrosse and beyond all in a fun, safe environment. Participants should bring lacrosse equipment, sticks, helmet, appropriate shoes, water bottle, snacks and sunscreen.

At Finn & Woodward, July 11-15 is Under the Sea theme. All the kids will be treated to a “Live Sea Creatures” workshop and “wild, wacky, water games. And Woodward campers again enjoy the pool, plus a water slide. Registration is open through July 7th.

Horseback riding, “junior farmer” and golf camps for the week of July 11th are also available weekly through mid-August. Click thumbnails below for more information.
