Recreation director reports summer programs, swim lessons and new senior services
Summary
The recreation department reported active summer programming (an average of ~20 campers), swim lessons with about 80 participants over two-week sessions, and expanded senior services in partnership with Southern Maine Agency on Aging including day supports and free luncheons.
Recreation staff described a full summer schedule: summer camp averages about 20 children, excursions to nearby towns and a range of programming. "We had about 80 participants" in the two-week swim lessons at the beach, the recreation speaker said, and staff said they hope to add more sessions next year but currently have limited instructors.
Staff also reported efforts targeting older residents: a partnership with the Southern Maine Agency on Aging will provide supervised day programming and additional free luncheons. The department listed ongoing offerings including pickleball, youth sports, chess, and an intended reopening of a teen center on Friday nights.
