The drop-in programming will keep kids safe and entertained with a variety of activities, such  as organized games, winter themed arts and crafts, story time, music and movement, science projects, computer activities and more.

The program will continue Jan. 11 as a youth program on weekends, resuming every Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m.

“December marks the start of the winter season, providing the perfect opportunity for families to explore the many resources offered through the City of Santa Clarita’s local community centers,” stated Mayor Laurene Weste. “The City is committed to providing structured programs and activities to keep our youth happy and healthy, and indoor activities such as these are a great way to accomplish that goal during the winter months.”

No registration is required to take part in the activities, but participants must be a member of the Newhall Community Center to join drop-in programming. Those who are not yet members can sign up free of charge at the Newhall Community Center.

The Newhall Community Center will not offer programming on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. However, the Center will be open and staffed until noon.
