“Every year, summer programs seem to fill up earlier and earlier. This Fair is a great opportunity for families with young children in Somerville and in our surrounding communities to get information about a wide range of programs, summer camps and activities in one central location without having to travel from site to site or spend hours contacting different programs,” said Nomi Davidson, event coordinator and Director of the Somerville Family Learning Collaborative. “We encourage parents/guardians and their children to stop by to find out about many of the options they have, ask questions, and get a clear sense of the great summer programs available for youth in Somerville and the surrounding community.”

More than 30 programs have signed up to participate in this year’s Fair, representing Somerville, Arlington, Belmont, Boston, Cambridge and Medford.  Program offerings cover a wide range of options including the arts (theater, music, etc.), sports (boating, fencing, pop warner, rock climbing, softball, swimming), recreation (camping, outdoor activities, digital), and more.

The Somerville Summer Camps & Activities Fair is sponsored by the Somerville Family Learning Collaborative (SFLC) of the Somerville Public Schools.
