DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE This brochure combines spring and summer so people may plan ahead for summer activities. There are many opportunities for fitness, sports camps, swim lessons, day camps, social activities, & special events for all age groups. New pro-grams include: Unified Arts, Rocketry, Build Your Athlete and Escape Rooms for Youth.

We are teaming up with North Branford to offer Shoreline Men’s and Wom-en’s Basketball Leagues, Co-Ed Softball and a Cornhole League.

We are offering April vacation trips, Earthfest & Clean Up Day, the annual Fireworks & Community Picnic and the Summer Concert Series.

The weed control at Lake Quonnipaug has been effective last summer, and we plan to continue treatments this spring/summer.

A platform will be constructed at Jacobs Beach with a temporary tent to pro-vide another shade area for people to enjoy the beach. We expect the platform to be completed by early July.

The Parks and Recreation Commission and Staff appreciate the support from the community and we are excited about our upcoming programs & events to con-tinue to help enhance the sense of community.

Sincerely,

Rick Maynard, Parks and Recreation Director

NOTE: All costs associated with the printing and mailing of this brochure are covered by program fees. MAKEUP CLASSES: Every effort will be made to makeup any cancelled class date.
