DOVER — The Town of Dover is gearing up for a summer of fun, learning, and adventure as Mayor James P. Dodd and the Town Council officially announced the return of the Dover Recreation Summer Program for children ages 5 through 12.
Running from June 23 through August 8, the full-day program promises engaging activities, themed events, and optional bus trips for local youth. Hosted weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the initiative keeps children active, safe, and socially engaged while school is out.
For Dover families who register early, a discounted Early Bird Special is available at $600 per child through May 31. After that date, standard fees rise to $650 per child for residents and $800 per child for out-of-town participants. Discounts are also offered for siblings.
“We’re thrilled to once again offer a high-quality, affordable program for working families,” said Mayor James P. Dodd. “It’s more than just childcare—it’s a summer filled with growth, creativity, and memories.”
The program will include field trips for an additional fee and offers limited seating. Parents can also take advantage of early drop-off and late pick-up options for an added cost, making the program especially accessible for working parents.
Registration is now open through Community Pass, by clicking here, for easy mobile sign-up. For additional questions, residents may call (973) 366-2200 ext. 8014 or email [email protected].
With a strong tradition of community-focused recreation, Dover invests in youth programs that enrich the lives of its youngest residents each summer.
