Spring Break Options for McLean Children

Spring break 2013 for Fairfax County Public Schools is March 25 - 29.

Do you know what your kids are doing?

To ensure they aren't watching television or playing video games all day, the McLean Community Center is coordinating a variety of activities for children ages 4 to 6 and ages 5 to 9 Monday through Thursday that week. 

Spring Break Camp includes "games, arts and crafts, activities, music and special events throughout the week. Children must bring a lunch and a drink each day and dress in comfortable clothes and tennis shoes. A morning snack is provided," according to the community center website. The camp itself will be hosted at a nearby school. 

Children ages 4 - 6 can stay for half-days from 9 a.m. to noon ($50 - $60 per day). Children ages 5 to 9 years old can stay for a full-day program from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ($80 - $90 per day). 

For older students, the McLean Community Center is offering Spring Break field trips for students in grades 5 through 9. Daytrips to Rebounderz, Sahara Sam's Waterpark, Funland and TopGolf/Shadowland are among the options. Prices vary. See more information about Spring Break trips for McLean students here.
