The Watertown Recreation Department announced it is offering the Pequossette Summer Program to children who are entering grades 1 through 8 in the fall of 2016.
The program consists of seven individual weeks from June 27 through August 12, 2016 at the Watertown Middle School at 68 Waverley Avenue in Watertown.

We offer an early drop off from 7:30 am to 8:45 am and an extended day program from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm.
The Middle School and Moxley Playground which includes a large field space, playground area, basketball court, tennis court and a multi-purpose court afford the Recreation Department the opportunity to offer a wide range of activities to entertain the children.
Basketball, softball, rag ball, kickball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse and street hockey are just some of the sport activities offered for the children. There is also a play area with swings, slides and other amenities to challenge the physical and imaginative skills of the children. The program will provide space for indoor activities, such as, assemblies, arts & crafts, drama, games, lunch, movies, music, talent shows, sports and more.
The Dealtry Pool is located one 1/2 mile from the Middle School and is used for swimming and cooling off on hot summer days for most campers, the Boys and Girls Club will also be utilized as a regular facility for the Pequossette Program.
The children’s safety and welfare are always the top priority for our staff. The program will be under the direction of Robert Galante, Program Director. A qualified staff of educators consisting of assistant directors, senior and junior counselors, and specialists will support Galante.
Children can bring a lunch or purchase one at the snack shack. Milk is offered to all youngsters on a daily basis. Children should wear comfortable clothing and sneakers to this program. Your child should also bring a towel, sunscreen and bathing suit with them on the days they travel to the pool. Sunscreen will be available to youngsters who request it.
