2017 SUMMER CAMPS & PROGRAMS

Registration begins Monday, March 27 at 7:00pm www.natickma.gov/recreation

Hello Residents and Neighbors -

So far the winter has been kind by keeping a glimpse of spring within our sights. While the spring temperatures tease us, we have been actively planning for a fantastic summer of activities and events. Our camp offerings of Woodtrail, Arrowhead and Sargent will be back with full schedules of fun and entertainment. If you're looking for children or adult programs and your interests fall within sports, theater, golf, farming,

concerts or relaxing on the beach we have a little something for everyone. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to make sure you don't miss out on our daily happenings. I'm looking forward to spending my first summer with you enjoying all that Natick has to offer.
