Imagination Park Summer Fun

For children aged six to 12, there's a great way to spend the summer at the Quesnel & District Arts and Recreation Centre.

Imagination Park has nine theme weeks: I am Canadian Week; Mexican Mayhem; Quesnel's Got Talent; Mad Scientists; Time Travelers; Sports for All Sorts; August Christmas; Game Shows; and Summer Survivor.

Imagination Park runs Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with pre-care options available at 8 a.m. and post-program care until 5 p.m.

In addition to Imagination Park, a special event is planned for each Friday, including: a trip to Moose Meadows Farm; a Kids Carnival; two different days of Waterslides in the park with lunch; a trip to the Yorston farm and their famous corn maze; and the ever-popular Rec Centre Sleepover.
"It's great for the community to have such a wonderful summer program for the kids," said Athena Beauvillier, Imagination Park Supervisor at the Quesnel & District Arts and Recreation Centre. "I love working this job in the summer; it is so much fun to spend the summer with these kids. To see the smiles on their faces is a great moment."

For more information, or to register your child for Imagination Park, visit the Arts and Recreation Centre or call 250-992-8200.
