Asheville Parks & Recreation Offers Virtual Summer Programs

Although traditional summer programs aren’t an option, you can still enjoy lots of great activities by going virtual.

Virtual Summer Camp. With plenty of activities designed specially for rising first-graders through rising ninth graders, youth can join their friends online and have a great summer camp experience from home.

Remember When? This is a new online storytelling club for older adults. The program meets every other Friday from 9 to 11 a.m. and gives adults a chance to socialize, even when staying home. Each session has a theme, and sharing of photos and mementos is encouraged. Programs will be recorded so that these priceless histories are preserved. The program is free. Sign up at www.avlrec.com or contact Olive at [email protected] for more information.
