A summer kids program is returning to Gresham parks this month.

Summer Kids in the Park offers free lunches and activities to all youths up to age 18. There is no cost to participate, and no registration is required. There is supervision at each location, though parents/guardians are encouraged to stay at the park. Children younger than age 8 should not be left alone.

The program will run Monday-Thursday, June 23 through Aug. 8. Each park will feature arts and crafts, group games, and special guests. The activities will vary daily, and each spot has slightly different schedules.
