    Community Activities We have been a provider of summer camp for over 15 years. Our summer camp provides youth an exciting and action-packed 8 weeks of activities. The children are all enrolled in the Mayor's Reading Challenge and are encouraged to read, and compose an essay on each book they read. They participate in ELA and math classes to prevent summer time academic loss. They participate in creating science projects, go on nature walks and take weekly field trips. Through our collaboration with Cornell Cooperative Extension and their program, Healthy Eats New York, our youth are actively involved in developing healthy eating habits that decrease obesity and childhood diabetes.

    Senior Services Our senior program offers a variety of activities for the active senior adult population. Along with our exercise programs, we offer educational workshops/seminars, day trips to areas of interest around and in Western New York and other social activities. All of our programs are suited to keep our senior adults healthy and engaged. The senior adults enjoy line dancing, painting, snacks, chat, stretch-band exercises, jewelry-making, Zumba, and Nintendo Wii.
