The Winter/Spring 2021 Active Guide has a great line-up of winter and spring programming.
We've got some great things happening in February--the Valentine's Day Walk at Millbrook Marsh, the Valentine's Day Hearts In Parks Mystery Challenge, the Millbrook Marsh Nature Center Outdoor Art Walk, the Paint Your Pet Virtual Paint Party, and lots more!
Don't worry, we have all of our COVID-19 safety protocols in place whether you're participating in indoor or outdoor programming.
Our Winter/Spring Active Guide will also have a preview of 2021 Summer Camps; Summer Camp registration will open on Monday, February 8 and the Agency will have a Summer Camp Guide available with full camp details too! Watch for that to be posted here.
We've got something for everyone!
It's hard to believe that summer is just around the corner, but Centre Region Parks and Recreation staff are hard at work organizing fun and safe summer camps for your children! We've posted the 2021 Summer Camp Guide here; just click on the cover image and the brochure will open in a new window. Summer camp registration opened on Monday, February 8 at 8 AM. Additionally, the brochure is an Interactive PDF, so if you want to register for camp, just click the link and you'll be taken the registration website.
If you're new the area and intend to register, you can get started by creating your household account prior to February 8. Below are steps to set-up your household.

The Agency's Annual Easter Egg Hunt will not take place in 2021. Despite the Governor's revised mitigation efforts, the Agency will not 
be holding its annual event as there just isn't a good process for hosting multi-age egg hunts. Typically, the Agency sees between 800-1,200 people at the egg hunt, and we're not able to control physical distancing for this type of event. We considered registration and spreading out the hunt times, but we know families who have multiple age children would find that schedule to be very difficult to manage.

Our Agency staff certainly look forward to 2022 when we hope this beloved annual event will return to Oak Hall Regional Park's fields and meadows! We wish everyone in our community a wonderful Easter holiday.
