Vermont Youth Project Of Rutland Puts Summer Fun In A Box

COVID-19 has closed playgrounds, limited sports and summer camp activities and curtailed playdates. So for many families with young kids, the long hot summer looms. But the situation got several nonprofit groups in Rutland to brainstorm ways to create kid-friendly, hands-on activities to help jumpstart family fun.

Downtown Rutland becomes giant playground

"Come Alive Outside Vermont" rolled out green grass on Center Street to make room for a pop-up park. It was part of the national Green Street Challenge. Hundreds of kids and their parents stopped by to play, socialize and learn. It featured free yoga and Zumba, bike repair demonstrations and a picnic.
