Little Ones, ages 3 to 5, can explore outside and learn about gardening and pollinators in the Peewee Gardeners and Peewee Pollinators camps. Older children can try something new with a TRI Camp (try a triathlon!), get outside with Totally Nature and Budding Gardeners camps, or take their summer to new heights with a Gymnastics or Skateboard Camp.
Not sure what your teen or tween is going to do this summer? The Silverthorne Recreation Center has great opportunities for teens and tweens to grow and develop skills while connecting with others through Dive Club, Jr Lifeguard Training, Triathlon Camp, or Youth Beach Volleyball. Teens can also take it outside, learning important skills or sparking imagination with Camp Creative at North Pond Park or Wilderness Survival Camp.
Adults have plenty of ways to have fun this summer too, with Boot Camp, Hooping and Skateboarding clinics, and Pickleball classes and more.
