TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Spring break is approaching for school districts in the Tucson area, so we have put together a list of free activities for families that will be spending the break at home.
Jet Sports Training Camp:
Jet Sports Training is hosting its fourth annual ‘speed camp’ at Quincie Douglas Park on the southside on Friday, March 14. Registration kicks off at 8:30 a.m. The event runs from 9 to 10:30 a.m. The event is open to kids six and older.
“We noticed that during breaks, spring break and Christmas break, a lot of parents still have to work and the kids are just at home, sometimes doing nothing, or watching too much T.V. or video games. It’s a chance for them to continue moving their bodies, using energy,” Owner Bobby Rodriguez said.
