summer of keeping the Borough’s
kids busy and engaged in numerous
activities, outings and social events.

impressive numbers this season,

arts, crafts, athletic activities, field
trips and fun, along with 38 paid
staff members and 25 volunteers
developing programs and keeping
a watchful eye over participants.

Summer Recreation program
included trips to the movies at
the Williams Center in
Rutherford, themed days such
as Mardi Gras Monday, Walt

their parents, who were invited
to communicate with the
Summer Recreation program

activities through social media.
In one 48-hour period alone, a

received more than 800 views,

throughout the summer to stay
informed and provide feedback,
which was overwhelmingly
positive.
