Vacation

The following is a list of programs that occur during the February, March and/or April school vacations. The Office of Work/Life Resources does not endorse any service or agency listed, and recommends you make your own assessment of the program to determine if it would be appropriate for your child. In addition to the programs listed check with your local Public School Department, many cities offer vacation programming in their public schools.

If you are a Harvard employee and would like help identifying additional school vacation programs – including programs that may not be on this list because they have not yet firmed up their camp schedules – you may call Harvard’s EAP at 1-877-327-4278 to use the dependant-care referral service. Staff will conduct research tailored to your specific criteria.
