Teaming With Our Community

2016

Get Active. Live Healthy. Annual Report Lancaster Rec: Teaming With Our Community

When used as a verb, teaming means to come together to achieve a common goal. At the Lancaster Recreation Commission (Lancaster Rec), our common goal is to ensure the residents of the City of Lancaster and Lancaster Township have access to quality recreation opportunities that enrich their lives. We encourage children to be active outdoors at supervised playgrounds and wading pools. Our summer camps offer unique experiences for children to learn more about the world around them. Year-round, we host a variety of youth sports activities, quality child care programs, and special events to keep children healthy, active, engaged and growing. We offer the largest coed league in the state of Pennsylvania, so adults get the chance to play, too. We provide fitness classes and have developed a series of free workouts utilizing our local parks to help adults integrate fitness into their daily lives. We celebrate our seniors and provide programs to enhance their social, emotional and physical wellbeing. Our three senior centers establish a community, a place for friendship and continued learning for residents over the age of 60. For our seniors it’s more than playing shuffleboard or cards, it’s a place to belong. At all ages, Lancaster Rec provides safe places for people to play and to come together, bridge the gaps between them and form lasting bonds that strengthen our community. Vulnerable populations are protected, kids with limited opportunities have a chance and our community thrives and succeeds.

A Public Community Recreation Agency formed through a Partnership Agreement of Get Active. Live Healthy. the City of Lancaster / School District of Lancaster / Lancaster Township 2 The Future Red Tornado Initiative: Everyone Gets to Play

In April 2015, Lancaster Rec partnered with the School District of Lancaster to launch the Future Red Tornado Initiative.

We began this initiative with a single guiding principle in mind – no child should ever be denied the right to participate in sports due to lack of financial resources. Every child should get to experience the joy of scoring the game-winning point, playing on a team, wearing a jersey with pride, and having a proud parent in the stands to cheer them on.

Youth athletics are expensive. The cost of program fees, in addition to equipment, apparel and protective gear, can add up quickly. Lack of transportation can also hinder involvement in youth sports. Too many children are left on the sidelines because of financial barriers and we are determined to change that. Our goal is to double the number of children involved in youth sports over the next five years.

The Future Red Tornado Initiative has evolved into powerful partnerships with community organizations like the Lancaster Family YMCA, Lancaster Police Athletic League, SALSA , Beat the Streets Wrestling, USA Field Hockey, Millersville University Athletics, Central and many others. Working with these organizations and increasing our program offerings, we’ve begun to see a large increase in the numbers of children participating in youth sports programs. For example, the number of our Junior Tornado Track Club members grew from 35 in 2015 to 56 youth.

In 2016, Lancaster Rec provided nearly $45,000 in scholarship funds to children for Future Red Tornado Initiative programs. We expect this number to increase as our programs and partnerships change the trajectory of youth sports in Lancaster.

Coming together, we have created Lancaster Baseball. Our mission is to develop and enhance the skills, mental discipline, character and self-confidence of youth through the sport of baseball.

Play starts at ages 5 and 6 with coed tee ball, and progresses to coed rookie ball for ages 7 and 8, and Jr. Red Tornado teams for ages 9 and up. Teams practice and play at Davey Arnold, Lancaster Community Park, St. Joe Catholic Club, and many School District of Lancaster ball fields.

The Millersville University baseball coaching staff trains all volunteer coaches to ensure boys and girls learn the proper skills, stay safe on the field, and have fun. The McCaskey High School coaching staff also conducts clinics and skill assessments so that children are placed on teams where they will have the best opportunity for success. Together, we are seeing unprecedented growth in the numbers of children playing baseball.

Lancaster Rec and Lancaster Family YMCA Join Forces to Teach Kids to Swim Lancaster Rec and the Lancaster Family YMCA provided swimming lessons to all second graders this school year at Wharton Elementary School.

With drowning still one of the most common causes of accidental death in children, being able to swim is an essential life-saving skill. Swimming is the only sport which can save a child’s life.

Swimming is lots of fun for people of all ages and children especially love getting in the water and enjoying themselves. But it is not just fun; swimming also provides loads of health benefits which can help to keep children healthy and happy.

Through the Future Red Tornado Initiative, we offered the swimming lessons free of charge at the Lancaster City Center YMCA. Several days a week, the children walked from Wharton Elementary School to the Y for lessons as part of their school day. The pilot program is anticipated to roll out to additional School District of Lancaster elementary schools in 2017.

Lancaster Rec also offered free SPLASH water safety and swimming skills programs in partnership with the Y to School District second and third graders. The program’s goal is to ensure that children are safe and confident around the water. 4 SPECIAL EVENTS

Trick or Trot 5K and Monster Run – Unique Setting Offers One-of-a-Kind Community Event Lancaster Rec joined forces with the Woodward Hill Cemetery to plan a Halloween-themed event to encourage children and families to get active, live healthy, have fun and go run!

More than 200 children and adults donned costumes and braved a chilly late October Saturday morning to enjoy a scenic race through Lancaster County Central Park and cross the finish line in Woodward Hill Cemetery.

Prior to the 5K, the Monster Run for Kids and costume contests for adults and children took place inside the cemetery. The 5K race began with encouragement from WGAL-News 8 personality Jere Gish, a color guard presentation by Boy Scout Troop 99, and the national anthem sung by Boy Scout Luke Welch.

Overall, participants were very pleased with the race, stating that the unique course through the cemetery is unlike anything they’ve ever experienced.

With the help of almost 60 volunteers and more than 25 supportive business sponsors, this family-friendly event was a great success. The event raised more than $15,000 to benefit Woodward Hill Cemetery’s maintenance and restoration efforts and our Youth Sports Scholarship Fund.

Beating the Streets with Wrestling In the fall, a new organization – Beat the Streets Lancaster – was founded to give youth the opportunity to learn and grow through the sport of wrestling. This free program is offered two nights a week at two locations, the Lancaster Recreation Center and Phoenix Academy.

Wrestling is a truly inclusive sport. Size factors are eliminated as each child is competing only against someone of the same weight. Every practice includes a variety of games, tumbling and fitness-oriented activities to focus on becoming an athlete before learning the skills to become a wrestler. Through participation and commitment, boys and girls earn wrestling shirts and shoes.

The goal of Beat the Streets is for youth to become well-rounded members of the community with a dedication to purpose, respect for their peers and the toughness to overcome the challenges that life will present them.

By year’s end, close to 100 children were enrolled in the program, getting healthy and active and gaining self-reliance and confidence through wrestling.

5 Building a Playground in One Day In late May in the cafeteria at Burrowes Elementary, a group of children and parents helped to design a first-ever playground for Holly Pointe Park, a City-owned grassy park area located along the Conestoga River.

The Holly Pointe Park playground was constructed in early October with the help of nearly 200 volunteers.

Walkway pavers for the playground were painted with designs by children in our after school program at Burrowes Elementary. At the end of the build day, the children had the thrill of being the ones to officially open the brand- new playground, by bursting through a colorful ribbon they created themselves.

The City’s Public Works Department led the playground build effort, with help from Lancaster Rec, the Pennsylvania Municipal League and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. KaBOOM!, a national nonprofit organization that specializes in transforming lives through play, helped to coordinate the partners.

Inaugural Health and Physical Literacy Summit Focuses on School District of Lancaster Youth In early November, nearly 100 individuals gathered at the offices of Lancaster General Health Penn Medicine atBurle Business Park for the first event of its kind in Lancaster. The 2016 Health and Physical Literacy Summit, hosted by Lancaster Rec and the School District of Lancaster, brought attention to the importance of physical literacy and the gaps that exist to create a healthy and active future for children.

Research shows that well-nourished and physically active children are more prepared to learn and more likely to attend school and take full advantage of educational opportunities. The goal of the summit was to begin to identify what each sector of our community can do separately, and together, to remove the barriers that prevent children from being physically active and eating healthy food.

The framework of the summit was designed around the Aspen Institute’s Project Play Summit that took place in spring 2016 in Washington, D.C. At our Lancaster event, field experts led panel activation sessions on healthy eating and nutrition, infrastructure for physical activity, barriers to sports participation and physical literacy for childcare service providers.

As we work as a community to make positive changes in the physical activity levels and health of our youth through collaborative approaches, plans are underway for the 2017 summit.

6 Excelling Beyond the School Bell Since 1988, Lancaster Rec has provided before and after school care programs in each School District of Lancaster elementary school. The days of before and after school care being little more than a babysitting service are long gone.

Our programs are state-licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services and participate in Keystone STARS, a voluntary quality improvement program. We take pride in the fact that all of our programs have achieved and maintain STAR 4 status, the top rating given. Not only are our programs continually assessed to ensure the highest quality of care, our staff must complete 24 hours of training each year. The staff are highly qualified as well, with 11 of our 30 staff members holding bachelor’s degrees and 15 others having earned their School Age Care Credential by taking college classes. Before and after school staff work for Lancaster Rec year-round, moving into summer day camp and playground positions over the summer months.

Staff prepare and implement daily lessons plans that are tied into the Pennsylvania State Learning Standards that all schools must follow. In addition, we maintain files on each child’s progress and hold parent conferences. Homework help is held daily, and children go outside for at least 30 minutes of physical activity.

Before and after school programs have two unique aspects not present during the school day. The first is the mix of ages, with Kindergarteners up to 5th graders being together. This allows children to build friendships and bonds with older and younger kids in their school. The second uniqueness is that our staff sees and interacts with parents on a daily basis, as they must sign their children in and out of the programs. This allows staff to truly know the families they are serving.

Bright Futures for Children and McCaskey Students The newly-opened Lancaster Rec Child Care Center at McCaskey High School offers care for infants that are at least 6 weeks old up to age 5. The remodeled 5,000-square-foot center provides a safe, nurturing and happy place for children of teens attending the high school, School District employees and the community at large.

At first glance you would assume Kiley Foley was a Lancaster Rec staff member because of her ease with the children and professionalism. Kiley, a senior at J. P. McCaskey High School, is taking part in the Early Childhood Education Program at the school.

McCaskey Early Childhood Education Program students have a unique opportunity to experience hands-on training at the child care center and develop invaluable working skills that can be translated to a future career after high school.

First-year students primarily observe and second year-students take on child care provider duties with the guidance and mentoring of the staff. When the students graduate, they’ll receive either Assistant Group Supervisor or Child Development Associate credentials, making them ready to enter the work force in child care.

Lucy Stauffer, our Director of Early Childhood Education, says that Kiley is “extremely talented” and “has a great future ahead of her.” Kiley will be attending college in the fall of 2017. Her dream is to become a child advocacy lawyer or youth case worker. Kiley says, “Every child deserves a chance, every child deserves to have someone on their side, and every child deserves to be loved and protected.” 7 Olympic Excitement Comes to Lancaster Summer brought the excitement of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games to the world. That excitement came to Lancaster on a hot summer day when our Summer Day Camp kids traveled to Triode Media to meet the United States Olympic Table Tennis Team. Leading up to the event, the boys and girls made their own Olympic torches and competed in our summer camp version of the Games.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to watch elite athletes at the top of their sport play against each other. The kids were mesmerized by the skill and competitiveness of the Olympians – and the speed of the game of table tennis. Each boy and girl also got to play against an Olympian and found out first-hand that while the athletes make it look easy, it isn’t.

The Olympic team handed out picture cards, autographed them and patiently answered all kinds of questions. Our staff had as much fun as the kids. The biggest takeaway for everyone was that to excel at something, you need to work very, very hard.

Camp Optimist – A Place for Traditional Summertime Fun Tucked away in an old barn in Conestoga Pines Park off of Pitney Road is one of Lancaster’s best kept secrets. It’s a place where summer days are spent playing in the woods, swimming, making crafts, listening to stories and singing camp songs. It’s a throwback to simpler times and the lazy days of summer.

Camp Optimist has been held every summer since 1957. Today’s Camp O continues the traditions it was founded on – the freedom to play and just be a kid, the opportunity to experience nature, a place to make friends and look up to counselors.

Home base for Camp O is a large, two-story barn. Prior to this summer, the barn underwent a huge makeover. Alex Garrett, our Facilities Manager, oversaw a complete kitchen renovation, the installation of new storage areas, and the painting of the entire barn, including the floor. We purchased new tables and chairs and lockers to store the kids’ belongings; our outdoor fire pit even got an upgrade.

Conestoga Pines Park has open fields, woods, and access to the Conestoga River. Down by the river is Conestoga Pines Pool, where the camp kids walk to swim every day. As families drive down the park lane to Conestoga Pines Pool, Camp O kids sell them lemonade from a wooden lemonade stand they built themselves. The kids donated this summer’s proceeds to the Forgotten Friends Animal Rescue.

Many campers graduate to become counselors-in-training when they turn age 14. Some go on to be counselors and over the years, we’ve even had a few become camp directors. With fond memories of summers spent at Camp O, parents send their kids to have the same fun experiences they did. 8 Volunteer Coach Honored with WGAL 8 Who Care Award Each year, WGAL 8 and the Pennsylvania State Employees Credit Union select eight outstanding individuals for the prestigious 8 Who Care Award for Public Service.

Lancaster Township Resident Justin Esh has dedicated many years to the community as a volunteer baseball coach for Lancaster Rec, using his passion for baseball to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of children.

In the fall, Justin was chosen as a recipient of the 8 Who Care Award. Lancaster Rec Director of Sports Services, Audra Landers, says, “Justin has poured his heart and soul not only into coaching baseball but also helping these players become respectful and impactful young adults.”

As an award winner, Justin received a $500 contribution to the charity of his choice. Justin donated the $500 to Lancaster Rec’s Future Red Tornado Initiative so that more boys and girls have the opportunity to experience the joys and benefits of playing baseball.

Bridge Does for the Mind What Exercise Does for the Body Every Friday afternoon, the Lancaster Rec Senior Center buzzes with the challenge and enjoyment of the game of bridge.

As people age, it’s important to keep the brain stimulated and alert, and memory active and sharp. Brain exercise is as critical as physical exercise. Bridge requires the use of math, strategy and concentration. Everyone has heard the saying “use it or lose it.” Playing bridge helps to “use it.” The brain exercises by keeping track of who holds what card, analyzing suits, and figuring out the best strategy to win the most tricks.

The bridge group men and women have been playing together for over 20 years and have formed lasting friendships. New players are always welcome. Bridge can be competitive, but in this group, experienced players help beginners understand the game’s strategy. Their motto is “the more you play bridge, the easier it gets.”

Celebrating Lancaster’s Princesses Sixty-six princesses from ages 1 to 10 and their entourages celebrated being a princess at our first-ever Princess Party in the spring. Each princess, and some entire families too, arrived dressed for the occasion, complete with tiaras. Jirah Banks’ grandmother made her white gown. Jirah’s mom said, “Her grandmother really got into this. We put the finishing touches on it this morning.”

The princesses spent the special afternoon making their own wands and jewelry, listening to music, dancing, and playing games. The princesses enjoyed royal snacks, making chocolate-covered pretzel sticks and eating other finger foods. The party concluded with a princess parade, with the princesses waving royally at their families and being photographed.
