The program is offered from 3 to 6 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, Sept. 9-June 13, 2025. Activities include gym games, arts and crafts, and themed activities, events and parties. A strong focus is placed on helping children learn to play cooperatively, respect each other, and learn new games and skills.
The cost is $25 per child per session (session 1: September-December and session 2: January-June). Transportation is not provided. For more information or to register, contact Courtney Bison at 732-460-1167, ext. 4640, or cbison@monmouthcountyparks.com.
