Children and teens from throughout Malverne enjoyed this year’s Summer Recreation Program, which culminated in a celebratory splash on August 15. The camp’s “Water Day” features food, games, sports, and of course, plenty of fun in the water.
Campers were all smiles as they slid down water slides and had water balloon fights. Even the teenage counselors got involved.
The camp, coordinated by director Jake Phillips, administrative coordinator Lisa Durand, and village clerk Jill Valli, is run by Malverne Village. It gives children a safe, fun place to go while school is out. It’s also a traditional first job for the teenagers of Malverne, who serve as not only counselors, but role models for the kids to look up to.
The Malverne Summer Recreation Program has wrapped up for the 2024 season — meaning the countdown to next year’s “Water Day” has already begun.
