Watertown Community Education proudly offers full-day programming during the February and April school vacation weeks for WPS students in kindergarten through grade 5. Each vacation program is theme-based and packed with fun activities. This year the theme for our April Vacation Week Program is Nocturnal Creatures Week!
Registration for the 2026 April Vacation Week Program opens on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, at 7:00 PM.
Registration is online only via a Google Form. Enrollment in this program is first-come, first-served. If you are interested in signing up your student, please register early. The Vacation Week Programs can fill up quickly. Please note, if you have more than one student you wish to register, a registration form for each student must be submitted. To the extent possible we will prioritize siblings registered on the same day honoring the timestamp of the first sibling registered. Please note that we confirm enrollments based on capacity in individual age/grade groupings within our program. This may mean that on one or more days, one age/grade grouping may fill to capacity before another.
