Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation is accepting registrations for free summer programming at four convenient youth centers for children ages 5 to 18 and who are still in school. Summer sessions begin on June 6 and continue through July 29, 2022.
Fun, interactive and engaging programming is provided and includes recreational team sports such as kickball, flag football, baseball and basketball; enrichment such as STEAM projects and self-development; group games such as relay races, Family Feud and charades; as well as arts and crafts. A light breakfast is available plus Fort Wayne Community Schools provides lunch and snacks each day free of charge.
Parents can choose the center and the session for youth to attend; mornings-only, afternoons-only or a full day of programming. Space is limited and registration is available online only at www.fortwayneparks.org. Parents are asked to register each youth separately and choose only one site and one session option.
