Casper on a Budget: A $6 Morning of Play for Casper Kids

Finding something fun to do with young kids doesn't always have to mean planning a big outing or spending a lot of money.

Sometimes, a couple of hours of play is all a family needs.

That is the idea behind Tot Time at the YMCA of Natrona County, a weekly opportunity for young children and their caregivers to get out, play and enjoy some active time together. The program returns Thursday, September 10, giving Casper families another affordable option for filling a morning with something fun.

Tot Time takes place every Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon. YMCA members can attend for free, while the cost for nonmembers is $6 per child.

For families watching their spending, that makes it an especially easy option to consider. A parent can bring the kids out for a morning of activity without turning a simple outing into a major expense.

And for little ones, two hours can go a long way.

Tot Time gives children a chance to move, play and interact with other kids while adults stay nearby and supervise. It can also be a welcome change of scenery for parents and caregivers READ MORE!
