Still not sure what your summer plans will be once school's out? How about reviewing what's available from Westborough Community Education's Summer Program? Here's an excerpt from their brochure.

Summer Day Camp Field Trip Information

Last summer, in order to provide a more diverse summer camp experience, we introduced weekly field trips that the campers really enjoyed. The field trips are optional and students wishing to participate will need to pay an additional fee to cover the cost of transportation and admission. We anticipate that most campers will attend field trips, and we strongly encourage you to allow your child to participate. However, for those students who remain at camp, there will be special activities designed for them. Please determine the field trips you would like your son/daughter to attend below, and then return a signed permission form with payment for the selected trips by the due date indicated. Unlike last summer, we will not accept late registrations for field trips. We are looking forward to a fantastic summer filled with fun and excitement for all.
