Summer Opportunities

 CCE's 4-H Camp Wabasso

Welcome to a place enchanted by summers past, by the mystical sounds of the natural world. Whispering through the leaves you can hear the spontaneous joy of children engaged in discovering the world around them. These sounds are stirred up and brought to life each summer along the trails twisting through the forest; out into the open meadows alighted by both the golden sun and the warmth of a smile. Then enchantment continues fluttering through camp and down to the lake as it flows alongside the west of camp. Millsite Lake provides a unique waterfront majestic sunsets you just have to see. Come, experience an extraordinary place where learning is fun and playing is learning.

Youth Recreation

Many of the towns and villages surrounding the Fort Drum area offer free summer recreation programs Monday through Friday to their respective residents. These programs come with adult supervision, activities, swimming trips, and free lunches. We encourage you to look into your area and see if you are in a town or village that offers such a program!

Indian River Central Summer School (Secondary School)

Each summer Indian River is fortunate to be able to offer Summer School programs to our student body. For students at risk of retention summer school will be required to be promoted to the next grade. Following the at-risk student enrollment, if seats in classes are still available summer school will be opened up to enrollment for students with other needs. Summer School enrollments are typically finalized in June .
