Turkeys and time off from school or work are two things that are frequently associated with Thanksgiving. Physical distancing and COVID-19 safe practices will be encouraged during these programs.

This November, JCPRD is offering a number of Thanksgiving week and Thanksgiving-themed programs to help you take advantage of time off. 

Programs include: Code Ninjas Minecraft camps at three locations, three Kids’ Day Out sessions, a gymnastics special event, a storytime session, and several special events.
While many of the programs on this list are for youth, some are for families, 50 Plus, or all ages. Most of them require advance registration.
