Sign-ups underway for town youth programs

GUILDERLAND — The town of Guilderland is currently accepting registrations for its 2017 spring and summer youth programs. There are still openings in over 100 youth sports and enrichment camps as well as swim lessons and Tawasentha Park’s half-day camp.

Brochures were sent home in students’ backpacks in the beginning of April, and residents may go online to www.guilderlandrec.com to view the camps being offered and to register online.  Residents may also pick up brochures and park stickers and register for programming and pavilion rentals in the Parks and Recreation office, which is located at 181 Route 146 (across from the Tawasentha Park entrance).

The Tawasentha Summer Day Camp program is open to all Guilderland residents and takes place in two-week sessions from June 26 through Aug. 4, from 8 to 11:45 a.m. at Tawasentha Park. In addition, the town is offering many new Enrichment and Sports camps, with bus transportation provided for most of the morning camps. Buses will begin their pickups at 8 a.m. this year.

Town-owned Western Turnpike Golf Course is also offering junior and adult golf lessons throughout the summer. The youth camps run from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Call Golf Pro Casey Childs or Director of Golf Herb Moreland at the Pro Shop at (518) 456-0786 or go online to www.westernturnpike.com to register.
