Auburn Autumn Adventures: Fall Into Fun With New Seasonal Programs At Parks, Arts And Rec
By Ashley Gain, Recreation Coordinator - Youth Programs
As the leaves turn red and the air grows crisp like an autumn apple, Auburn’s Parks, Arts and Recreation Department invites you to dive (or bob) deep into a season of fall discovery.
I magine it: a spell of recreation and after-school programs, a wisp of movement and dancing, a charm of cooking and baking – the spices and scents and sensations will be hard to forget. If they can’t stop talking about it during the drive home, it’s a job well done.
Whether you’re looking to keep the kids entertained, seeking a new life skill to be learned, or simply hoping they’ll enjoy the beauty of autumn, there’s a fall camp program tailored for you and your family.
