Truro Recreation Summer Program

Welcome to the Truro Recreation Summer Program! 

Our program offers games, activities, challenges, theme days, field trips and beach days.  Our goal at Truro Recreation is to provide quality programming that benefits the Truro community.  At the Summer Program, we strive to provide a safe and supervised environment that encourages friendships, physical activity, learning, and fun.  Our different activities aim to nourish interactions between old faces and new faces, younger children and older children, and all kids and staff members.  These interactions promote friendships and discourage all forms of bullying—something that we take very seriously at Truro Rec.

We operate two programs—the Children’s Program (ages 5-11) and a Teen Program.  To be in the Teen Program, participants must be between 12 and 14 years old.  Eleven-year olds may be eligible for the Teen Program if permission is granted by the staff.  The Teen Program has separate trips and activities from the Children’s Program, however, some activities include both the Teen and Children’s Programs.

Truro Recreation tries to incorporate challenging and stimulating activities into our daily events where we can learn and work together while still having fun as usual. 

At “Rec,” we love to try new things, whether outside on the field or inside in the art room and we encourage kids to do the same.  While we don’t usually require kids to participate in all activities, we do encourage that they come prepared to participate or at least give them a try.  Certain activities (including activities on field trips) may be required, however, to ensure safety and supervision of all kids.

Some of our favorite parts of the program are theme days.  Theme days include Carnival Day, Luau Day, Crazy Clothes Day and more.  They range from simple (just show up in a crazy outfit) to more elaborate (climb into a hula skirt and get ready for limbo, coconut bowling, hula hoop contests and incredible decorations).

Each summer we also have a summer-long theme.  This summer our theme is…

REC is a Highway

There will be challenges and activities relating to this theme throughout the course of the summer!

The Truro Recreation Summer Program is held everyday—rain or shine.  If there is rain before the start of the Program and a beach day or outdoor field trip was scheduled, the Program will take place at Truro Central School.  For up-to-date information regarding changes due to weather, please call us at 508-487-1632 x22 or check the web at www.truro-ma.gov/recreation.  If it begins to rain while we are at the beach, we ask that parents/guardians pick up children immediately.

Our goal is to have a fun summer while keeping everyone   safe, so we need all children to respect the rules, the counselors, each   other, and themselves.  If everyone does this then we are sure to have  the best summer yet.
