BCYF Fun Stops continue through August

Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF) wants to remind families that “BCYF Fun Stops” continue through August offering free, daily, drop-in activities at eight locations in Boston.

Children ages 8-18 are welcome to stop in and enjoy a variety of structured activities including board games, sports, arts and crafts and more from 12 noon to 6 p.m.* each weekday. No pre-registration is required, however, parents must fill out a brief waiver form that contains the necessary emergency contact information as well as allows youth to swim during scheduled times at the Fun Stop pool locations. Each Fun Stop is limited to 50 youth. Many of the Fun Stops are able to provide lunch through the Summer Food Service Program, but please confirm with the site.  Fun Stops began on July 6 and will continue through Friday, August 21.
