Delano Community Education

>For children entering grades 1-6

If you enroll more than one child in the same week, please select the "Additional Child" for any additional children of the same family.

Summertime in the Parks is an opportunity for kids to get outside, participate in activities, and burn off some surplus energy. Experience what Delano parks and playgrounds have to offer! Participants should bring the following items: sunscreen, bug repellent, water, and a snack. These will not be provided. We will take a snack/water/*bathroom break every day at 2:00 pm. (*Not all locations have bathrooms) Participants must bring a water bottle, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, bug spray, and a snack to class each day. These items should be clearly labeled with their name.
