Summer Youth Programs
Wayne Metro's summer programs provide children with an opportunity to enjoy the summer months in a fun, safe environment.
Summer Programs generally run Monday through Thursday and children will take part in daily activities like recreation, gardening, crafts, problem solving and team building. Swimming and frequent field trips are also scheduled to places like the Spring Valley trout farm in Dexter, the Detroit Science Center, Greenfield Village and Comerica Park for a Tiger's Game.
