Alexa Matlock, Surf City, Recreation Program Supervisor, was our speaker Tuesday morning. Alexa gave us an overview of the Recreation and Parks program and the adjustments that had to be made with COVID restrictions. The main focus has been to keep the program going for kids,
During school year on Wednesdays when schools closed for students, we offered a program for kids that worked well with time for school work, athletic activities, and science programs. COVID guidelines were in place with distancing and masks. Parents that had in-person jobs appreciated our program.
This spring we have both soccer and tennis programs going. Wellness programs are coming up as we get back to normal. By the way Alexa offered that new athletic fields will be build. One facility with the new fields will be a new 18-hole DISK golf course, although a time line for its construction is not available yet.
Planning for Summer Programs Underway
Plan to host 75 kids per week at Surf City and an additional 35 kids at the new Community Center location in Holly Ridge. The partnership with Surf City will offer the same program at both locations allowing us more space. The Community Center in Holly Ridge off of Hwy 17 is convenient for parents living off-island and/or coming to the area for work each day.
Summer Camp registration already has 675 spots filled out of 800. Field trips are set. Counselors will be interviewed started this week, as we will need 16 counselors for program. We have very good retention of our counselors throughout the summer last year
Summer camp costs $160 per week for first child then $145 for second and subsequent siblings. Kids bring their lunch each day except on Friday when the program provides pizza.
