DinoMites Elementary Days Off Camp is a place for kids ages 5 to 10 to land, with games, sports, crafts, and plenty of room to be a kid.

Upcoming days off:
October 12 and 13
November 23 and 24
December 28, 29, 30, and 31

Camp runs 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Fruita Community Center, with early drop-off from 7:30 a.m. and late pickup until 5:30 p.m.

Pre-registration is $45 per day. Drop-in is $50 but doesn't guarantee a spot, and days fill quickly. A day needs at least eight kids enrolled two days ahead to run, so register early. If a day falls short, you'll get a call and a full refund.

Sign up at fruita.org. A CampDoc link will follow by email, and current immunization records are required to hold your spot.

We have ONE MORE Movies in the Park for you tomorrow, starting at dusk. We'll be showing a classic, Hocus Pocus!

The Sanderson sisters are back, and spooky season is officially here. After 300 years, three witches return to Salem, and it's up to a handful of kids and one immortal cat to stop them before sunrise. All under an October sky.

Bring blankets and low chairs and join us at Civic Center Park.
