ORONO COMMUNITY EDUCATION SUMMER RECREATION 1984 LENGTH OF PROGRAM The program started June 11 and ran 8 weeks through August 3. Morning sessions lasted from 9-12 noon. Afternoon sessions lastec im 1-4 pm. Special events were scheduled for Monday afternoons from 1-4 pm. Each city had two half days per week of playground for their children. The program was set up so that it was possible for a child to participate in something on each day of the week: two days of playground, a special event on Monday, Day Camp on Wednesday, and a Trip on Friday. SPECIAL EVENTS The special events were planned for all children in every com- munity to attend. The sites alternated between Holbrook Park, Long Lake; Rainbow Park, Maple Plain; and Nelson Beach, Long Lake. The special events were Superstars, Costume Party, Water Fun, Bike Trip, Allmost Anything Goes , Track Meet, New Eames Day, Movie Star Day, and a Carnival. DAY CAMP Every Wednesday for the duration of the program was spent out at the Day Camp, Baker Park Reserve. Hours were 10 am. to 3 pm. The children from all the communities were able to parti- cipatz ;n the Day Camp program. Activities at the Day Camp were nature games, hiking, swimming, and outdoor barbecues. We averaged 50 children for each day camp, which made it the best attended part of the program. TRIPS Six trips were planned for the summer program. Two of these trips were cancelled because of insufficient registrations. The trips were planned with Westonka Community Services. We had 53 attend the Twins game, 34 attend the Minnesota Zoo, 50 attend Valley Fair, and 30 go to Circus.
