This summer will feature some of the traditional programs and
events that residents and non-residents alike have enjoyed for
years, as well as new offerings for 2012.
KPR will continue its two fun-filled summer camps - Camp Loads of
Fun and Rek & Trek Adventure Camp. Camp Loads of Fun provides
the fun and camaraderie of a neighborhood full of kids with group
games, arts and crafts and other exciting projects. Located at the
Johnson Recreation Center, campers will have the opportunity to
enjoy other activities offered in the same location, including swim
lessons and soccer and tennis camps.
Rek & Trek Adventure Camp provides kids with a wonderful
opportunity to experience the great outdoors all summer long.
Campers will be transported throughout the Killington region,
taking part in various activities amongst the natural beauty that
Vermont has to offer. Activities include tubing adventures along
the White River, gondola rides at Killington Resort, hiking trips
in the Green Mountains, swimming in Quechee Gorge, and much
more.
"We are so excited to offer a great combination of fun and
entertainment for all ages on River Road," said Lyndsay Gang,
Interim Director for Killington Parks & Recreation. "And we're
also thrilled to welcome residents, tourists and second homeowners
to our expanded concert and movie offerings this summer."
For six weeks in July and August, KPR will continue the River Road
Summer Concert Series at the Sherburne Memorial Library on Thursday
evenings. Spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets,
and snacks to relax in the cool summer nights, while enjoying a
variety of free musical entertainment on River Road.
KPR will also extend Splash Theater, where guests are encouraged to
bring their favorite pool float to the Johnson Recreation Center
Pool for the perfect seat from which to enjoy a big-screen summer
movie. Other KPR summer programs on River Road include swim lessons
at the Johnson Recreation Area Pool throughout the summer; a
one-week Challenger Soccer Camp; the "Top Spin" Tennis Camp; and
the Killington Sharks Swim Team.
