(La Porte, IN) - Adult supervised programming for children is being offered in a select number of parks during the summer in La Porte.  The free summer program is held at Koomler, Allesee, Scott, Ben Reese and Rumely parks.  There are morning and afternoon sessions daily with each park visited during the week.

 

“The park leaders put together a plan every day, a combination of games, sports, arts and crafts.  We also get visits from the mobile library, the Little Fish Club.  Things of that nature.  There’s always something for the kids to do,” said La Porte Park Department Superintendent Mark Schreiber.

 

Schreiber said parents must register their children for them to participate in the program.  Registration along with a complete schedule are available at laporteparkandrec.com.

 

“We do encourage parents to make sure they know when the leaders will be there and the time they’re leaving,” he said.

 

Schreiber said he participated in the program while growing up and it was brought back about a decade ago.

 

“It helps get the kids out, give them some structured play,” he said.
