No school? No problem! Monday, October 12 is a day off for Tacoma Public School students, and we have a fun solution for families -- All-Day Sports and Play Camp 😀 👍

The All-Day Sports and Play Camp includes a fun mix of multi‑sport games, sport‑themed crafts, and active group play. It's open to children in kindergarten through 6th grade.

Camp runs from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm at Wainwright Intermediate School, and families may drop off or pick up at any time during camp hours. Campers are grouped by grade for age‑appropriate activities.

It's a convenient, safe, and exciting way for kids to enjoy their day off from school.

Camps are supported by Mary Bridge Children's Hospital
