Above: During April vacation, children can enjoy the minion madness of Despicable Me 2 for free or register for the movie day with lunch and games.
As a parent of elementary schoolers whose April vacation is more of a “staycation”, I’ve been looking to see what activities are available that week.
There are some good offerings in town, but most require pre-registration.
So here’s an FYI on April vacation activities to register/RSVP for:
From the Southborough Recreation Department:
Grades 2 to Grade 5
Co-Ed Dodgeball – $30 pp
Tuesday, April 22, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
The famous playground game is reborn as an exciting new sport of teamwork, strategy and skill.
Co-rec teams of 6 to 10 players will put it all on the line trying to outlast opponents.
The main objective of each team is to eliminate all members of the opposing team by hitting them with thrown balls, catching a thrown ball by a member of the opposing team, or forcing them to move outside the court boundaries when a ball is thrown at them.
Movie: Despicable Me 2– choice – free for kids whose parents stay
Tuesday, April 22, 10:00 am – 11:45 pm
Children who aren’t registered for “Day at the Movies” (below) must have a parent stay with them (and will have to leave after the movie screening.)
Day at the Movies – $20 pp
Tuesday, April 22, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Join us for a free movie release! “Despicable Me 2” Get ready for some minion madness.
Stay with us for more fun! Lunch and drinks will be served. Kids will be supervised and introduced to lots of indoor/outdoor activities (weather permitting). They will be engaged in non-competitive games, lots of fun and socialization.

Pre-registration is required for this lunch and gym games option.
