Camp Silvershell is for children entering Grades 1-6. New this year, each two-week session will include a field trip, such as Roger Williams Zoo and Battleship Cove. The camp is Monday-Friday, 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. (No camp on July 4). Early Drop Off and Late Pick Up are available.
Marion Recreation has created a fabulous sitting area at Washburn Park. We’d like to ask community members to donate any new or gently used picnic tables that you no longer need. We would also like to have some picnic tables at Silvershell Beach as well. Please call 774-217-8355 and we will gladly pick up any donated item.
