Holiday Craze

Holiday Craze Canceled

CANCELLED: HOLIDAY CRAZE WINTER SESSION 

Holiday Craze is a recreational day camp program operated by the Farmers Branch Parks and Recreation Department. Holiday Craze is open to children ages 6-12 years. Due to sharply increasing COVID-19 infection rates in Dallas County, the winter session of Holiday Craze has been cancelled. The spring break session of Holiday Craze is set for March 15-19. The Spring session is set to meet at the Farmers Branch Community Recreation Center, 14050 Heartside Place, Farmers Branch. Renovations at the Recreation Center may cause a relocation of the Holiday Craze during spring break. Please check back  for updates.
