Summer Recreation Program

Supervisor Town Board Teresa M. Kenny Jerry Bottari Denis Troy Tom Diviny Paul Valentine A Message from the Supervisor

Although we have all been living through some unprecedented times these last few months, with the summer finally here and the Mid-Hudson quickly entering new phases of the NY Forward Reopening plan, there is no better time to get out and enjoy the beautiful outdoors right here in Orangetown.

While this year we cannot offer all of the same programs that we have done in the past, our Orangetown Parks & Recreation Department has been hard and work to come up with a wide selection of fun family-orient- ed activities for children, adults, and senior citizens of all fitness levels. Lead by Superintendent Aric Gorton, our staff's mission is to continuously strive to deliver quality, affordable programming in, what is more important now than ever, a safe and healthy environment.

I want to thank the entire Parks and Recreation Department for their con- tinued hard work and dedication to enhancing the quality of life here in Orangetown.

As you thumb through this season’s brochure, please mark your calendars with all the activities you and your family will enjoy. With an excellent line up of programming and hundreds of acres of parks and trails that the Town and Rockland County have to offer, we hope you will take advantage of everything right in your backyard.

Sincerely, Teresa M. Kenny Town Supervisor

6 Skyhawks Sports Camps Veteran’s Memorial Park 9:00 AM – 12:00 Noon Monday through Friday

Skyhawks provides a wide variety of fun, safe and positive programs that emphasize crit - ical lessons in sports and life, such as teamwork, respect and sportsmanship. Our pro - grams are designed to give each child a positive introduction into sports while fostering a lifelong love for an active, healthy lifestyle. Our patient and knowledgeable staff use a variety of skill-building games and activities to give each athlete a complete understand - ing and overview of sports. This summer Skyhawks will be working with the Orangetown Recreation to follow the New York State guidelines for safe games. As we exit and enter a new phase or new guidelines are posted the program will be constructed appropriately for that phase.

The fundamentals of each sport will be taught by Skyhawks Sports Camps. Sports camps for children ages 5 to 10 will be held at the Veteran’s Memorial Park in Orangeburg. The mini-hawk sport camps will be for children ages 5 & 6 and will be an introductory pro - gram for young children that will explore multiple sports in a fun setting. In order to par - ticipate, children must be the age at the time of the program.

Beginning Golf Skyhawks Golf focuses on building the confidence of young athletes by teaching proper technique to refine essential skills of the game. Golf is a challenging and lifelong sport, so young athletes need proper focus on the fundamentals of form, swinging, putting, and body positioning. To assist in this training, Skyhawks has adopted the SNAG (Starting New At Golf) system to its curriculum. SNAG utilizes a set of equipment designed for beginning golfers, including oversized plastic club heads and “mini tennis balls” to help build confi - dence and to have fun. Developed by PGA professionals, SNAG is specifically designed for the entry-level player; SNAG simplifies instruction so that young players can make an easy and effective transition onto the golf course. No need to bring your own clubs--all equip - ment is provided. We keep the instructor-to-camper ratio low, resulting in limited avail - ability. These programs fill up quickly.

Mini-Hawk This multi-sport program was developed to give children a positive first step into athletics. The essentials of baseball, basketball and soccer are taught in a safe, structured environ - ment with lots of encouragement and a big focus on fun. Our Mini-Hawk games and activ - ities were designed to allow campers to explore balance, movement, hand/eye coordina - tion, and skill development at their own pace. Skyhawks staff are trained to handle the specific needs of young athletes.

Multi-Sport Our multi-sport camp is designed to introduce young athletes to a variety of different sports in one setting. For this program we combine soccer, baseball/softball, basketball, flag football, capture the flag and ultimate frisbee into one fun-filled week (each week will include 2 sports). Athletes will learn the rules and essentials of each sport through skill- based games and scrimmages. By the end of the week, your child will walk away with knowledge of multiple sports along with vital life lessons such as respect, teamwork, and self-discipline.

NATURE ADVENTURE Explore the natural world and the adaptations that allow birds and beasts to thrive. There is a new and different fun take-home project each day. Make plaster casts of animal tracks. Learn how animals pro - tect themselves: survive icy cold like a polar bear and dissect oysters to see how they resist an annoying itch. Build a bird feeder and mix your own seed blend to attract specific bird species. Make recycled paper. Tie-dye t-shirts with vegetable dyes. Test water for pollution, and then build a water filter to remove anything nasty. Construct a bug house for observing real, live bugs.

Build a Mad Science rocket and then design, build and launch your own version. Learn about the challenges of living in space and undergo astronaut training. Work with lenses and build a telescope. Discover technologies developed for use in outer space while navigating a laser maze. Campers will have lots of projects to make and take home includ - ing two rockets, space copter, meteorological station, star chart, and a telescope. Material developed by Mad Science in partnership with NASA.

RADICAL ROBOTS – NEW AND UPDATED! Are you ready to take over the world with your cunning creations (Mwah Ha Ha Ha Ha! ), or would you like to design machines that can save the planet? Start here and train with other future roboticists. Explore the basic and complex technology used to design and build robots. Discover how machines and robots work and how they make our lives easier. Learn about simple machines, gear structure, gear ratios, battery wiring, motor principles, and electronic circuits.

12 MAD MACHINES & CRAZY CONTRAPTIONS This inventor’s camp is designed by you—the Inventor! Each day you’ll be given a series of challenges which must be overcome using basic materials, simple machines, tips from world famous inventors and the most important thing of all – your mind. If you were stranded on a desert island how would you survive? You will need to build shelter, find food and purify water, protect yourself and your teammates from the elements and find a way off the island – or die trying (not really). Journey to the future and examine the ultra - modern inventions of the 23rd century. Then design the future - today. "Create" mini-light sabers, “green energy”, and hovercraft. With a little bit of ingenuity, you’ll construct cat - apults and forts and then lay siege, fabricate a winning Egg Drop design, construct a danc - ing robot.

From edible messages and decoding clues, students will have the opportunity to check out some of the skills that spies must master as they journey into the world of espionage. Take home projects include an ultraviolet Fingerprint Finder kit, Spyglasses that let you secretly watch people who are behind you, Spy-noculars, a Secret Code Breaker, and an Inspecti-kit for evidence collection.
