Celebrate winter and learn about the different holiday customs from around the world with the Winter Break Day Camp Program offered by the Santa Maria Recreation & Parks Department.
Each week will feature activities centered on various winter themes and different cultural holiday celebrations.
Whether participating in a variety of cooperative group games, cooking holiday treats or making a festive craft project, the staff is dedicated to filling each child’s day with adventure and learning in a safe, supportive environment, giving children a winter break to remember.
The program will be held at the Minami Community Center, 600 W. Enos Drive in Santa Maria, from7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The weekly sessions run from Dec. 22 through Jan. 16. The cost is $95 per week for full time (six hours or more per day) and $65 per week part time (less than six hours per day). Children must have completed kindergarten. There is no camp from Dec. 24-26 and Jan. 1-2 because of the holidays, and fees will be prorated for each week.
