Summer recreation is back in many cities across Davis County offering activities to keep children happy and learning during the school break. For example, Wood Cross has an all-day class that includes regular summer recreation in the morning at Hogan Park, and then after lunch a front runner trip to the Tree House Museum or Clark Planetarium. North Salt Lake offers classes for tiny tots only 3-5 who may enjoy supervised running, kicking, throwing, and jumping at the park. Class size is limited to keep the activities safe and fun for everyone, so registering online at the city website recreation tab is a must. 

North Salt Lake opens up summer recreation for not just residents, but anyone else in the area. Painting Night, for those over 13, is offered on June 16 which includes instruction and supplies to take home your own artwork. Children’s classes are offered according to age starting at three and continuing up to 12. Kids 14 and older work as counselors mentoring the younger ones. Parents can choose activities like archery (bows provided or bring your own), arts and crafts, baseball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, track, drawing, flag football, jewelry making, or mad scientist experiments. Other more generalized sessions including games, activities and snacks are available. The first session runs from June 12-29 and the second session from July 10-27 (with July 24 being made up on July14). Sessions are the same and are all held at Hatch Park on 50 West Center Street in North Salt Lake. Any questions that are not answered on the website can be directed to Kristin Robinson or Julie McLachlan (801-335-8712).

Woods Cross offers eight sessions throughout June, July, and the first of August. All the sessions include a T-shirt and have different themes, activities, and crafts. They are held at Hogan Park (1500 South 800 West) by the current City Hall, Mills Park (1220 West 1750 South), and cooking classes in the Public Works Building kitchen (2287 South 1220 West). Classes are available for kids 5-12 Monday through Thursday. Parents can choose sessions that include activities that will interest their child like: pickleball, basketball, board games, fitness yoga, music, Legos, tennis, and adventure camp.
