What is Transitions?
The Transitions program is geared towards kids who aren't quite ready to participate in a full day of sports. Some kids just aren't that interested in sports and still want to have fun with their friends in a group setting. The program starts with Storytime in the morning (a combination of crafts, forest exploring, books and free time on the equipment) and ends with a 45 minute block of swimming and park games.
