There is still time to
register to laugh, learn and play online
Are your kids still
looking for things to do this April Break? The City of Vaughan is offering virtual
programming from Monday, April 12 to Friday, April 16. Kids can have fun and take
classes from the safety and comfort of home!
Virtual
April Break programs
Kids
can become a master of filmmaking by creating their own blockbuster
to enjoy on the big screen; experiment with pencil, pastels and paint or some
sticky slime; fine-tune their strategy with a game of checkers or chess; build
a robot and design LEGO models; or train to be a ninja or
an athlete and add a dash of Disney-inspired magic to their
workout – there is something fun for everyone! Programs
will be livestreamed via Zoom and run 45 minutes to 1.5 hours.
A list of materials and supplies will be
emailed to participants in advance. Assistance from a parent or guardian may be
required. For details, view the Spring
Recreation eGuide at vaughan.ca/recreation.
