NORTH CENTER — Funny how the same kids who couldn't wait for winter break are now bored to tears.

Send them to the Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club, 2501 W. Irving Park Rd., where staff has put together a winter break camp packed with activities and fun.

The camp is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, Monday, Jan. 2 and Jan. 3 for kids k-8th grade. Children can be dropped off as early as 8 a.m. if necessary. Snacks are provided but lunch must be supplied by parents.

The cost is $40 per day or $50 on days when field trips are planned — outings have been scheduled to Waveland Bowl, Winter Wonder Fest and the Field Museum. There is an extra $10 charge for last-minute walk-ins.
