Commission: 132 summer registrations reported; staff outlines field use, trips and rain‑date challenges
Summary
Staff told the commission there are 132 summer program registrations and weekly attendance may run 80–90 children; members discussed trips, bus logistics, rain‑date locations and possible gym/back‑up venues, and noted ongoing outreach to local partners.
Pembroke Recreation Commission members were briefed on the summer recreation program and field scheduling, including registration totals, trip plans and rain‑day contingencies.
"So there's a 132 registrations," the staff member said, adding that weekly attendance has averaged between "80 to 90 per week" in prior reporting. Staff described planned trips to state parks and local amusement centers, and said bus costs are covered by the weekly fee rather than trip fees.
Members discussed backup locations for rainy days, including the village school and local gyms. The staff member said some potential indoor sites are under renovation and not available this year; she is waiting to hear whether a nearby elementary school can provide a rain‑date option. Members also raised the idea of using PCL for some programming but concluded it likely lacks capacity for the full camp size.
The commission heard that the camp schedules and sample flyers had some address errors and staff will correct and reissue them. Staff also reported partnerships for on‑site visits and projects, naming Creative Duckling as a downtown partner that will visit the park during the summer.
Commissioners agreed to continue planning and to confirm rain‑day venues and transport details; no new fees or formal changes were adopted at the meeting.
