Winter Break Camps at the Austin Parks and Recreation Department

Ahhhhh… the hustle and bustle of the holiday season!  Let’s see… family and friends are coming into town, presents need to be bought – and wrapped – there’s food to be cooked, desserts to bake, the house to clean, activities to arrange… when are you going to find the time you need to get everything done?  And to top it all off, the kids are out of school during the time you need to rush around the most!  How can you do everything you need to do and entertain the kids too?

Well, the season may be busy, but there is a great way to give your kids a fun day (or two) and give yourself the time you need to get some of the finer details completed.  The Austin Parks and Recreation Department’s Winter Break Camp is alive and well at your Recreation Centers!

Winter Break Camp provides your kids with an enjoyable and fun experience in a supervised and structured environment. Creative activities will engage your child’s imagination and promote positive social interactions while laughter and giggles ring out. Children will participate in games, crafts, fun activities, field trips and more!
