We want to thank all of our volunteers who make our major programs possible! We appreciate everything you do to make our programs successful and positive for everyone involved. SUMMER: Our summer recreation program is a seven-week program for children going into Kindergarten through tenth grade. The program includes trips to Splashtown, Kiwanis Beach, local state parks, and Spring Point. We also offer many theme days with scavenger hunts, survivor activities, and a treasure hunt in the Old Port. Parents may begin making early payments for the summer program at any time to avoid having to come up with the entire sum at one time. Please call the Recreation Office at 929-5142 to set up a payment plan. We offer an Extended Rec program after our seven-week program ends to provide a place to be until school starts. FALL & AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES: In the Fall, we offer a Soccer League for pee wees (3 & 4 year olds), Kindergarten, 1 st – 2 nd , 3 rd & 4 th , and 5 th – 8 th grades. We usually practice during the week and have games on Saturdays. As the school year begins, we offer many after school activities. These activity programs include: gymnastics, drawing, crafts, woodworking, oil painting, indoor soccer, chess, and floor hockey. Madison Moody directs our before and after care programs. He has a staff that helps implement these programs. As part of the aftercare program, for every mile the children walked, a food product is donated to the Hollis Food Pantry. Each child has an adult sponsor who donates the food for each mile walked. We have a party for the sponsors and the children at the end of the year. Each year we donate over 2,000 cans or boxes of food! The children are very proud of their community service! We are always looking for people who are willing to be a sponsor. Let us know if you are interested.
