As usual, we have a busy summer schedule of programs and events. Our biggest program is our Camp in the Q. We are always looking to make the camp more fun with new and exciting trips as well as extended weeks and hours.
Our Camp in the Q summer camp is now 8 weeks! Parents can register their children who will be entering first thru eighth grades, for as few as three days (Tues, Wed, Thurs of one week) but we suggest registering for many more. There are six trips scheduled this year- returning favorites: Bowling, Turtle Back Zoo, and Medieval Times. New trips this year are, Wild West City, Liberty Science Center, and the Funplex/Water Park. If you have any questions, email campintheQ@yahoo.com
Pickleball: Our adult pickleball sessions have ended for the spring season. Beginning July 21st, the rec center will be open for various 2-hour blocks for our residents to reserve one of our three indoor pickleball courts. You will be able to find these dates and times on our recreation website wanaquerecreation.com Look under events for our rec calendar.
We have added some new and fun programs for everyone. We will continue to work hard to keep all ages of our residents busy and bring on new and interesting fun things to do.
