We are still planning to run our summer programs as scheduled, so please continue to sign up online. If we are directed to cancel programs, we will refund your money.
Again, all summer programs are still on as of today. Any info/updates that we receive from the state, we will continue to share with you on our city website & our Facebook page!!!
