The Holiday rush is over and children are back to school.  As you prepare your family calendars for the remainder of the school year, I wanted to remind residents that the Town of Caledon Parks and Recreation Department hosts a Day Camp during P.A. Days.

P.A. Day Camp is available for youth 5 to 12 years of age and they take place from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (with extended day care hours available from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at an extra rate of $5 per day per child) at the Caledon Centre for Recreation and Wellness.  For $40.00 per person, your child can participate in this fun camp.  They will explore a variety of exciting activities such as large group games, outdoor activities, basic sports, songs, arts and crafts, swimming, skating (weather permitting), and rock climbing.

Participants need to bring a healthy, nut free lunch and snacks; water bottle; swimming suit; towel; skates; and a helmet.

If you are at home with your child during a P.A. Day and are looking for a fun activity, special times have been established for recreational swimming and skating.  Swimming is available at the Caledon Central Pool and Mayfield Recreation Complex from 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; and the Caledon Centre for Recreation and Wellness offers Kinderswim from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and a Public Swim from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.  The fee for a child (14 and under) is $3; and Adult is $3.30; and a Family Rate (3-5 immediate family) is $7.75.

Recreational Skating is also available at the Albion Bolton Community Centre and the Caledon East Community Centre from 1:15 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. and at the Lloyd Wilson Centennial Arena from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.  Children and youth (16 and under) are $2.25; Adults $3.25; and a family (max of 5 family members) is $8.50.
