Dear fellow Hanoverians:
As the falling and blowing snow covers Hanover in a world of white, I
thought this would be a perfect remedy – thoughts about and plans
for summer! The following is from the good folks at Hanover Parks and
Rec:
* *
*Hanover Parks and Recreation’s Summer Program Registration starts
on Wednesday February 13th! Keep reading for information regarding
Park and Rec, Teen Extreme and Kids Klub summer offerings! *
/Summer programs run from July 1st-August 16th!/
Visit http://www.hanoverparkandrec.com
for more information and registration details.
*/Park and Rec/* is a memorable camp experience that has made a
significant impact in the lives of countless Hanover residents over
the past 50 years.
* *
*OUR PURPOSE:* To provide an inexpensive, age-appropriate opportunity
for all youth to experience outdoor passive and active recreation with
their peers all while creating great memories and new friends.
*OUR PROGRAM:* The Park and Rec program is for children ages
Kindergarten – 6th grades and consists of four sessions (Session One
is 1 week at $60, Sessions 2 – 4 are 2 weeks at $150). This program is
open to all Hanover residents K – 6. Each grade travels together to
different stations every 55 minutes, these stations range from arts
and crafts to floor hockey to tennis. Within each grade level, 14
children are assigned a counselor to guide them and provide activities
throughout the day. The counselor groups are usually done
alphabetically and just for attendance purposes. The entire grade
plays together. Along with the counselors, the Parks and Recreation
Department also employs four Assistant Directors and two Directors.
The Assistant Directors provide services such as first aid help,
weekly talent shows, tournaments and arts and crafts. The two
directors oversee all aspects of camp including field trips, pizza
days, t-shirt distribution as well as the normal day to day
operations.
*OUR PROMISE: * To do everything possible to allow all children to
have the best possible summer by creating many opportunities for
children to have fun all summer long.
*/Teen Extreme /*is an exciting unique experience for middle school
students that bridges the gap between organized summer activities and
field trips.
*OUR PURPOSE:* To provide an inexpensive, age-appropriate opportunity
for all middle school students to socialize and stay active during the
summer.
*OUR PROGRAM:* The Teen Extreme program is a field trip based,
exploration program that consists of seven 1 week sessions at $120 per
week/child (3 out of 4 days are field trips). This program is open to
5th – 8th graders. Each week, children travel to two new and
exciting places across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
Field trips are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. During Rec Center
days many activities are offered by the staff and the campers choose
whether to participate or not. New this year – we are adding an
additional field trip day!
*OUR PROMISE:* To allow for fun age-appropriate activities for middle
school students of Hanover to enjoy and experience each week of the
summer.
*/Kids Klub/* is an introductory program to get young children and
families interested in Park and Rec summer activities and a place
where first friends are made!
*OUR PURPOSE:* To provide an inexpensive, age-appropriate opportunity
for potty trained 3 – 6 year olds to socialize and have fun with other
children their age. Kids Klub will serve as a “recruitment tool”
for future Park and Rec participants and hopefully life-long fans of
our summer programs.
*OUR PROGRAM:* Kids Klub is a unique pre-k program that runs over the
course of 7 weeks. New this year, children will be assigned a
counselor to travel to different stations (making it a smaller version
of Park and Rec). Session One is 1 week while Session Two, Three and
Four are 2 weeks. We offer two different options for parents. Option
1: Three days a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at the Rec
Center; Option 2: adds Mondays and Wednesdays at the pre-k playground
at B. Everett Hall (Sylvester) Field. Both options start at 8:30 a.m.
and continue until 12:30 p.m. The children are divided into counselor
groups to travel with their groups to different assigned stations.
*OUR PROMISE:* We understand that for many children this may be the
first time that they have been away from their parents for an extended
period of time. We promise that your children will enjoy themselves
while creating new friends in a fun and safe environment.
