King's Kids summer program gives children an opportunity for creative thinking and physical activities in a "fun and safe" atmosphere according to representatives.

Other water activities are planned at the center Tuesday and Friday afternoons.

The program is designed for children currently in kindergarten through sixth-grade and will run for 10 weeks from June 9 through Aug. 15. Flexible scheduling gives parents the choice of the number of weeks their children spend in the program with no minimum number of weeks required. Spaces are limited.

Registration is also being accepted for the 2008-09 Before and After School program.
