The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation is working with a local organization to get kids outside and do fun activities.
It's the fifth year of Holyoke Rose being a part of Mass DCR Summer Nights.
Tonight is one out of several throughout the summer where kids can kayak and fish along the Connecticut River.
We talked to the organization's director about how this program helps kids learn about the environment.
They're learning about what's offered at the boathouse. They'll learn a little bit about other things they can do here during the school year.
And they just learn about sort of the great opportunity that the Connecticut River is.
Holyoke Rose will be having another event this week for kids and families on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
