The Woodlands Recreation Center recently published their exciting summer calendar which features special programs for all ages! Many of the “camps” are geared towards educational enrichment through physical activities!
Activities planned throughout the summer range from stand-up paddling and country western dancing to LEGO Robotics. “There are hundreds of programs of all types,” said Chris Nunes, Director of Parks & Recreation for The Woodlands Township. “We have designed programs for all ages, both from a fun perspective and an educational opportunity.”
One of the centers most unique offerings is Little iKids programs, which teach area youngsters ages 3 to 7, to explore and expand their technical knowledge. Activities offered in this program include LEGO Robotics, where children construct their own digital storybook by building robot characters, adding music and narrating with their own voice; PC Pet Shop, which teaches basic pet care through computer and keyboard activities; and the popular Dinotunes Digital Discovery, which teaches basic music skills through archeologically themed activities.
