FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The Friends of Billerica Recreation raises money each year to help provide financial assistance for programs. A limited amount is available on a per-person/per season basis. Please read the Financial Aid/Scholarship Information Policy.
SUPERSTARS 2018
Superstars is designed for children ages 6- 14 with group sizes that are limited to 12 children with at least two counselors per group. As many of the counselors and junior counselors are involved in the education and special education professions, Superstars is able to meet the social needs of some children with special education plans. Weekly trips, games, crafts, sports, special events and contests help make the summer memorable.
NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
Children choose the park location they would like to attend for the summer. This can be the one closest to their house, or near their relatives and or friends! Park staff and instructors provide supervised sports, arts and crafts, music, games, and special events. Special guests visit our parks throughout the summer. Field Trips are offered with an extra cost.
This is a time of supervised summer fun. There are no before or after care hours so it is not designed to be childcare. Children are encouraged to bring a snack & drink to the park. Parks are closed if it is raining hard. LEARN MORE AND REGISTER
DISCOVERY PRE-SCHOOL
Children ages 3-5 will have fun making new friends, playing games, arts and crafts, storytelling, water play with special events and visitors. There is a high counselor/child ratio with licensed teachers in charge leading and planning the activities. The program is 2½ hrs long each day which will allow the children the opportunity to play in the park’s splash pad area more often! If it’s a rainy day, the program is moved to the Hajjar School. Please note: Children must be toilet trained. LEARN MORE AND REGISTER
