The ERC has all kinds of fun planned for your students this summer with themed weeks from pirates and safaris to Dr. Seuss and the Olympics. Field trips include the Jones Aquatic Center, Flint Hills Bowling and Rollers! We will also do some fishing at Peter Pan Park and visit the Splash Pad. Let the Emporia Recreation Center keep your student “Active for Life” this summer! Come join us for a fun-filled summer at Summer Scape! Summer Scape is a licensed daycare program through KDHE (Kansas Department of Health and Environment). Our purpose is to serve the child, the parent and the community by providing an affordable, safe, positive atmosphere for summer break. Summer Scape will be supervised by qualified leaders 18 years or older with a minimum of ten hours of KDHE-approved training and experience working with children. Staff will practice social distancing and frequent hand washing to keep everyone safe. Mask requirements will follow USD253 policies.

This program includes breakfast, lunch, snacks and field trips.
