WELCOME!!!!!
Welcome to the 2025 Town of Verona Summer Park Program. We are looking forward to welcoming back all of our familiar faces and hopefully some new faces, too. Our program will be held again this year at the park located on 6600 Germany Road, Durhamville, next to the Town Hall. This location provides all the park attendees with the opportunity to enjoy the swings, slide, sand, baseball field, and more. We have an outside pavilion which allows us a shady area to sit and enjoy breakfast, lunch, and our daily crafts.
Our field trips and special activity days are always an enjoyable and educational part of our program and this year will be no different. Every summer needs some adventures and we have a few of them planned! We are going to be having a few “Out of the Park” days this year along with our on-site activities. We have made sure to spread the fun throughout the entire six weeks of our Summer Program so that we always have something to look forward to. We will be doing a little traveling (on a bus but not too far) to the Marquee Cinema for one of our field trips and we will be having some “drop offs” at separate locations near us for other special days. There will be a calendar of events given out at the beginning of the Summer Park Program to help keep you informed of those special days and activities. There will be occasions that we ask parents to pay for specific things during our activities such as the Snack Box at the Marquee, t-shirt for a craft and possibly some other little extras during our special days. We will inform you ahead of time about these instances so that you have time to plan ahead. We are excited to say that the Sherrill Library will be visiting us again this year. They will be coming to see us one day a week to share a story and a craft. Along with that, they will have a mini book mobile so that children can sign out a book for a week with a library card. If they do not already have a card, you can fill out the paperwork right there so they can have one. Besides special days, we will continue activities that we have enjoyed in the past, like our daily crafts, outdoor games, Bingo, walks on the trail, and getting wet from the hose on hot summer days.
The Town of Verona Summer Park Program will run from July 7 - August 15, Monday - Friday from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm rain or shine.
As always, the Verona Park Program is offered for free to any child(ren) Pre-K thru 8th grade that resides in the Town of Verona District. However, this year, children that live outside of the Town of Verona District can attend the park program for a fee (the amount has not been decided at this time-more details to follow). In order to join the program, there is an application packet that you will need to fill in. You can obtain the packet from the Town of Verona website, at the Town Office, or it will be available on site at the program itself.
Drop off/Pick up is in the pavilion located inside the park. You must sign your child(ren) in and out every day at the park or other locations, this is a must! If someone other than yourself will be picking your child(ren) up, you need to write a note letting us know and please have the person that is picking them up bring ID with them. If not, they will be unable to sign them out.
Again, this year, breakfast and lunch will be provided Monday - Thursday only by V.V.S. High School Cafeteria staff and the state funded program. There will be no breakfast or lunch provided on Fridays; your child(ren) will need to bring their own lunch on those days.
All of us at the Town of Verona are very excited to start another summer of fun. Hope to see you there!
