    The Wiscasset Parks and Recreation Department Afterschool Adventures staff members will be leading a group on Monday, Dec. 29, our Monday Funday Daycamp!

    Join Heather and the staff for a trip to the Children’s Museum and Theatre of Maine. Kids will participate in one and a half hours of free play time and a choice of one activity: “Meet the Turtles” or “Camera Obscura.”

    If your children want to learn about our “Timmy the Turtle,” this is a great activity. Camera Obscura is a room that exhibits the principles of light, perspective and vision. It’s like standing inside a camera!

    The camp day will run from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. with before and aftercare available for an additional $5. Standard price is $35 and members/Community Partners price is $28. Campers should bring lunch and snacks. For more information, please contact the front desk at the WCC, 207-882-8230.

    On Tuesday, Dec. 30, Wiscasset Parks and Rec is excited to offer a Robotics Camp Workshop with the folks of Maine Robotics at the Wiscasset Community Center from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m.! Campers will learn to build Lego Robots from the EV-3 Lego Series. Then they will be learning to program the robots that they have constructed.

    This camp is for children 9-14 years old and space is limited. Lunch is on your own or a pizza lunch can be provided for an additional fee. This camp fee is $89 for all participants. Call the WCC for more info or check out the Maine Robotics website.

    Finally on Friday, Jan. 2, Wiscasset Parks and Rec will be taking a trip to Lost Valley for ski and snowboarding. This is an all ages trip. Anyone under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. We will be departing the Wiscasset Community Center at 8 a.m. sharp with a return time of 5:30 p.m. Rentals are available at Lost Valley.
