WeyRec

Last weekend was a busy weekend for me but I had my fun without Maura. During the week Maura is having adventures without me. This week she is spending her afternoons going tubing on the Weymouth Back River as part of Weymouth Recreation summer activity program. She has been exploring the waters of the Weymouth Back River while floating in an inner tube. It is great fun for her on warm summer days. I think I’d enjoy it, too.

Tubing is only one of the many options that the Weymouth Recreation program offers. Two weeks ago Maura took a rock climbing class. Her group was bussed every day to the Quincy Quarries where old granite working faces make popular climbing routes. Maura also took swimming lessons at Lane Beach this year, as she has in previous years. She’s learned to swim in the tidal waters of the Fore River.  In past years Maura has explored the woods and salt marshes of Great Esker Park, along the Back River. She got to come home wet and muddy every day. She’s always enjoyed her summer activities.

Maura’s summer activities are only a small fraction of what the Weymouth Recreation program offers. The programs are offered to all children, not just residents of Weymouth, though Weymouth residents like us do pay lower fees and get to start registration earlier than non-residents.  Early registration gives Weymouth residents a better chance to get into the most popular programs which have limited spaces available and can fill up quickly.
