BCYF February vacation week activities offer something for everyone!

There's lots to do during February school vacation week at your local BCYF center.

The February school vacation week is fast approaching. Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF) wants families to make plans today to attend one of the many programs and activities being offered at our centers. We created a complete schedule of BCYF centers’ vacation week activities. A few highlights include:

Full Vacation Week Programs:

Several centers — including BCYF Blackstone, BCYF Charlestown, BCYF Curtis Hall, BCYF Menino, and BCYF Tobin — are offering a structured all-day vacation week program for young children featuring a wide variety of activities.

BCYF Gallivan Community Center is hosting their annual Black History Basketball Tournament Thursday through Saturday of vacation week, 1 - 6:30 p.m.  BCYF Mildred Avenue Community Center hosts an Art & Family Celebration tonight at 6 p.m. and there will be Black History movies and discussions at the following BCYF community centers.
