Summer Camp Open House Saturday

The Barrington Recreation Department holds an open house today from 10 am to noon for its summer camps in the gallery of the library.

The open officially opens the registration process and offers parents a chance to meet the counselors and learn about all the summer camps.

Bring your children along, of course.

Programs are led by employees who have been trained and are certified in first aid and CPR. 

New programs have been added and you can register for swimming lessons, yoga, and Tai Chi, which will take place at the beach this summer, among many other programs.
