A very well organized program and staff of young people put on a summer of fun for kids in the community. Following several weeks of the JUKO program for older children, “Little JUKO” met for the past two weeks at Springwood Park for the morning session and Mary Scott Park in the afternoon.
Today was the last day of Little JUKO and it was packed, as usual, with fun activities for the little ones.
Each day, at both sessions, the kids gathered for a nutritious bag lunch with a sandwich, two drinks—juice and milk, and healthy chips. After lunch they would enjoy story time from one of the JUKO staff.
Later the day was filled with games, crafts, and today it included wonderful face painting. Another addition to the week was a visit from a real hedgehog on Thursday at Mary Scott Park.
During the first week of JUKO the 3-5 year olds enjoyed a visit from the fire department getting very wet in the process.
Every day held an opportunity for cooling off as water games played a crucial role, especially in the heat of the day.
What a great summer for the children full of healthy, safe and well supervised activities. Another event brought to the community by the Richmond Parks and Recreation Department. Well done.
