Summer Camp
It is difficult to imagine that it is time to plan for the summer. If you are seeking camp for your child, below is a list of resources to assist you in the process. I encourage you to look at these as soon as possible. It is important to be aware that many of these camps require additional documention above and beyond the an application. Therefore, you may need extra time to gather that information. The Town of Huntington Website (http://www.huntingtonny.gov/parks) has valuable information for you to view. If you have any general questions, please feel free to contact me, Jacqueline Carroll, Maplewood Social worker at: (631) 812-3416.
