As frigid temperatures numb the area, the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU) is suggesting a warm alternative: making summer plans for children.
The 3rd Annual Summer Adventures Camp and Activities Fair will be held Thursday, Jan. 15, at the Technical College High School Brandywine Campus, located at 443 Boot Road in Downingtown. The CCIU is hoping to connect families with summer camps, workshops, arts and music enrichment, sports and recreation, tutoring and more.
From 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., the CCIU will offer parents an early start on their children's summer vacation. Jennifer Shealy, special events coordinator for the CCIU, said parents are encouraged to bring the whole family.
"We will have many free activities, including an inflatable soccer game, in addition to free popcorn and raffle prizes,” said Shealy. “Many of the camps will also be raffling off free and discounted camps, among other prizes, so it is sure to be a fun-filled night out with the family."
Students from kindergarten through grade 12 and their parents will be able to meet with representatives and gather information. The Philadelphia Zoo, Longwood Gardens, Great Valley Nature Center, Power Play Rinks and School of Rock are just a few of those scheduled to attend. Last year’s vendors included summer camps, summer schools, party venues, tutors, music and theatre, sports and exercise, arts and crafts vendors, outdoor camps and more.
“It may be cold outside, but summer will be here before you know it. Now is a great time to check out the options that exist for children of all ages,” added Shealy.
