We rounded up the best things to do in Bergen County and beyond on our weekend PLAYlist!
Sponsored Post: Talk about camp offerings that are totally on point: Singing, dancing, acting and, yes, fencing! It’s no wonder sessions at Cresskill Performing Arts sell out year after year. With small classes (10-12 kids per section) which guarantee individualized attention, Cresskill Performing Arts is the place to go for Performing Arts Camps all summer long, a “Born to Perform” Spring Break Camp in April, and special Fencing Camps session in June and August. For more information or to sign up for any of these camp programs visit: cresskillperformingarts.com (Cresskill Performing Arts, 300 Knickerbocker Rd #1100, Cresskill, NJ, (201) 390-7513)Events Not to Miss:
