Norfolk recreation's summer programs are available for many ages and filling fast. Be sure to check out the new golf programs, robotics, animation, tennis, as well as the classic Fun in the Sun program for 4 to 6 year olds, Mini-Hawks and more.

Call the recreation department at 508-520-1315, visit virtualnorfolk.org under rec or visit the office in the basement of town hall. There are program booklets available outside the recreation office on the lower level of town hall, which is open Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. One can use credit card to register online. Residents and nonresidents welcome.

It is important to sign up in early June as the recreation department needs to know how much staffing is needed and if some programs should be canceled, and other sessions added.
