Bored?

YMCA offers spring break programs

Of The Summit

FOREST CITY - Parents can usually handle summer vacations because they can see the end of the school year looming and can make arrangements for their children in advance. However, spring break always catches us unaware.

By this time you've probably heard, “Mom, I'm bored,” so many times you're ready to scream and the ceaseless chatter of the television is driving you nuts.

So, where can you send the kids so they will be safe, have fun and can hang out with friends? The Forest City YMCA of course.

The YMCA is offering childcare from 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., March 17 - 20, for children in kindergarten through 5th grade.

The day includes games, crafts, lunch, swimming and a movie. Kids can sign up for all week or on a daily basis.

The cost for members is $19 per day for one child, $25 for two children and $32 for three. For non-members the cost is $30 for one child, $38 for two and $46 for three.
