Parents Night Out Information:

Parents Night Out provides a safe, engaging, and fun environment where children can spend an evening with friends while parents and guardians enjoy a few hours to themselves. Open to children ages 5-10, this Boiler Kids Camp program features active games, arts and crafts, recreation activities and supervised free play led by experienced BKC counselors.
