Our Vice Mayor Lauren Copas Smallwood of Hamilton City Council shared this post and if you go to the comments on the original post she has a good number of the many options there are for people to participate in.
☀️🎒 Summer Is Around the Corner, Hamilton! 🎒☀️
As the school year winds down, now is the perfect time to start planning for summer programs, camps, and activities that keep our youth engaged, active, and learning. 🌟
Summer should be filled with:
🎨 Creativity
⚽ Movement and sports
📚 Learning opportunities
🎭 Arts and exploration
🤝 Positive friendships
Hamilton is fortunate to have amazing local organizations, parks, libraries, nonprofits, and community groups offering opportunities for children and teens to stay connected and enriched all summer long. 💙 Please tag any summer camps or programs in the comments!
I encourage families to:
✔️ Explore local camp and program options
✔️ Register early when possible
✔️ Look for activities that match your child’s interests
✔️ Encourage teens to explore leadership or volunteer opportunities
Keeping our youth engaged over the summer helps build confidence, friendships, and lifelong skills. Together, we can make this a safe, fun, and enriching summer for every child in Hamilton. 🌈
