City manager Scott Sellers informed the City Council Tuesday about a series of Easter-related events, including an Easter-egg hunt and a photo contest, hosted by the Parks and Recreation Department, and the City followed Sellers’ announcements with an official statement on those events and others Wednesday.
In addition to the hunt and the contest, Sellers said Parks and Rec will also conduct Easter Egg basket giveaway and a summer camp, although the actual dates of the camp were not revealed.
The City, in an official prepared announcement, said Parks and Rec will be giving away free Easter egg baskets to the first 50 families to register here for the Easter Egg Basket Giveaway. Registration closes March 29 or once all spots have been filled.
“When signing up, register only once per household and not per child, then under the enrollment field enter how many children are within the household,” the City said. “Participants will then be able to pick up baskets from the Parks and Recreation Office, 700 Lehman Road, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. by no later than Friday, April 2.”
Those who wish to participate “in the first ever Easter Trail Hop Egg Hunt,” scheduled for Saturday, March 27 along Plum Creek Trail at the Waterleaf Park, may do so by clicking here. Registration closes March 24 or once all 30 available spots have been filled, according to the City’s announcement.
“By registering for the event, attendees will get a 20-minute fun filled egg hunt experience along the Plum Creek Trail,” the City said in its announcement. “The path will be designated by rope and timers will be handed out to help keep track participant time limits. City staff will also be stationed along the trail to assist.”
Up to five children can be included in each registration, which cost $8 for Kyle residents and $10 for non-residents. An additional $1.50 will be charged for an egg basket.
“Participants are asked to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to their time slot to allow proper check-in,” the City said. “Masks will be required for this event and the Parks and Recreation Department will provide hand-washing stations and hand sanitizing stations.”
Those wishing to participate in the Easter-related photo contest can do so by e-mailing their photos to agarcia@cityofkyle.com no later than Monday, April 5. The City will select five winners, each of whom will be notified by email no later than Thursday, April 8, and will receive a gift basket.
Information about the City’s Summer Camp, as well as a link to register for the camp, can be found by clicking here. A special early registration weekly fee of $135 per camper plus a non-refundable registration fee of $20 is available now until Friday, March 26. After that, the weekly fee will be $150 plus a $32 non-refundable registration fee.
“Kyle Summer Camp is a day camp that runs from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday,” the City’s announcement said. “The weekly fee covers two field trips per week, two pool days, two daily snacks, two T-shirts (must worn on field trip days) and daily supplies for activities.”

“The camp does not supply breakfast or lunch; therefore, each camper will be required to bring a water bottle and lunch each day,” the City’s announcement cautioned. “Parents are asked to make sure their child's lunch contains an ice pack if it needs to remain cool, as the camp is unable to refrigerate camper lunches. Campers will be required to wear a mask, where it is feasible. All Camp Staff will also be required to wear the masks.
“In order to ensure campers receive the requested shirt size, completed forms, payments and/or deposits must be received by 5 p.m. April 30,” the City said. “Participants may register after April 30, if spots are still available, but the shirt sizes for campers will not be guaranteed. Registration remains open until filled or until the payment deadline has passed.
“All cancellations will come with a fee of $45 with no exceptions. To hold a camper's spot for a week, parents can pay a minimum of a $50 non-refundable deposit. Late fees will be added in the amount of $20 to any account that does not pay by the deadline.”
