BCYF Will Help Get the Kids Out of the House

And out of your hair. At least for a little while. It's a long vacation, after all.

BOSTON, MA — Having the kids home is great, but if they cooped up for a full week, you know it can get hairy.

Fortunately, the Boston Centers for Youth & Families has a list of activities at the ready, helping families make plans to get out of the house over the break.

You can find a complete schedule of BCYF centers’ vacation week activities here.
