OC Parks Department hosts a kids summer activities program

GOSHEN — The Orange County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation will host a new Kids Summer Activities Program at Thomas Bull Memorial Park in Hamptonburgh in July and Algonquin Park in the Town of Newburgh in August.
Children will have an opportunity to put down their devises and spend some time outside getting fresh air, communing with nature and having fun. Activities will include playing games, making crafts, fishing, hiking, visiting with animals and leaning about gardening and local history.
The program will run in two-week week sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon.
Sessions at Thomas Bull Memorial Park will begin July 9 and July 22 for kids 6 to 10years old and at Algonquin Park on August 6th and August 20th for kids 8 to 12 years old.
The cost will be $120 per session, per child for Orange County residents ($220 per session for non-county).
Space is limited to 20 children per session and registration is required by May 20.
