A few highlights include:

Several community center centers including BCYF Blackstone, BCYF Jackson Mann, BCYF Mildred Avenue, BCYF Perkins, BCYF Roslindale, BCYF Shelburne and BCYF Tobin Community Centers are offering a structured all-day vacation week program for young children featuring a wide variety of activities.  Call the center directly to sign up for the program.

It may be cold out but BCYF’s 16 indoor pools are warm and offer open access swim time as well as structured aquatics programming under the watchful eyes of lifeguards. Several are offering free swim lessons all week as part of BCYF’s Swim for Safety program.  Find your local pool listed on the Aquatics page of boston.gov/bcyf.
