AMHERST — For parents caught in a last-minute crunch to find early summer activities for their children, Amherst South Church still has openings for its Kids’ Fun Week on June 22-26.

This weeklong summer experience is for kids completing K-5 this spring. It happens from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. daily. Local children, from all faiths and backgrounds, are welcome to attend. The $150 per child cost includes lunch each day.

Activities will be centered around a “connection” theme, such as “connect with family or community” for example, and will include plenty of art, music, and outside play time. Each child will have the opportunity to learn and have fun, while growing in faith, and learning about our shared humanity.

South Church is an open and affirming, immigrant-welcoming, green congregation of the United Church of Christ. This curriculum will have a strong peace emphasis, with experienced local teachers leading the program. Each age group also will have high-school age counselors.

Amherst South Church is located on the historic South Amherst Common. For more details on this program, our teachers and staff, or to register, visit website: https://amherstsouthchurch.org/kids-fun-week/
