Hot Topic) of the Month
June is a month that brings a high level of excitement to the Parks and Recreation
Department in that it is the start to our busiest season of the year. Summer programs
kicked off in a positive manner with the holding of the annual Bike Rodeo and Safety
Camp special events. The summer sports camp series started with a Basketball Camp
and Lacrosse Clinic. The SPA, or Summer Playground Adventure, program began with
the Whatchamacalit Camp which included, appropriately, a variety of activities including
games, crafts, and relay races all with a camping theme. We are energized with how
