42 Summer Program
Summers of Fun and Friendship
The 42
Summer Program is the summertime counterpart to the After-School
program. Virtually all of our parents work right through the summer and
the need to care for their children is actually increased with the
close of the public schools. For the first 6 weeks of summer vacation
we piggyback with Boonton Recreation which provides a program for 5
hours per day by adding our own staff for an additional 5 hours. After
that, we open our doors from 7:30 in the morning through 6:00 in the
evening for an additional two weeks. In addition to the daily
activities of games, arts and crafts, and supervised computer access
and training, each child has the opportunity to participate in at least
one special activity.
Special Activities
Thanks to
our generous donors, children have participated in the New Jersey
Shakespeare Youth Corps, and made trips to: the Tourne, Jockey Hollow
National Park, Lane's End Stable, Minebrook Golf Course and NJ Hook a
Kid on Golf.
Special Thanks
Special
thanks in 2006 to our Camp Directors Marie Perkins and Lily, Rosemarie
Lynch of the Boonton Recreation Department and Morris County Block
Grants, who this year provided scholarships for 22 children from
low-families. Bob Valentino of Maveric Driving Range not only donated
his time and facilities but was very generous in his gifts to the
children. Sarah Gray and Dick and Ruth Anne Catlett both opened their
pools for use by our kids.
