NORWICH – With summer right around the corner, the Norwich Youth Bureau is rolling out its summertime programs and bus trips.

Sign up for youth bureau bus trips will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 3 at the Norwich Youth Bureau Office at city hall.

Each year, the Norwich Youth Bureau offers a variety of free programming for youth in the City of Norwich as well as neighboring townships of Norwich, North Norwich, Plymouth, Preston and Pharsalia. Additionally, free fun-filled day trips give kids the chance to get out of Dodge for a few hours.

“Most of the bus trips are new this year,” said Norwich Youth Bureau Director Robert Mason.

Bus trips this year include a visit to a Binghamton Mets game on July 9; a trip to Fort Stanwix National Monument and Fort Rickey Game Farm on July 14; Enchanted Forest Water Safari on July 21 ($20 for adult chaperones); Wonder Works at Destiny USA on July 29; and an Erie Canal boat cruise on August 5.
