That being said, the recreation part of recreation happens best in warm sunshine so we welcome spring and summer with open arms. Having been the Department Director for the last six months, I have seen both trials and tribulations. Ultimately all of my experiences have been a joy. One of my best joys, though, has been to welcome many new staff. They are a talented and enthusiastic group ready to make YOUR recreation and senior programs all they can be. This October welcomed Pat Rossiter to the Recreation Supervisor Position. He has many, many great ideas for programming, trips, and camps to keep everyone active and involved with a wide range of opportunities. Kathy Poston joined us as Senior Program Coordinator in January. Many seniors will recognize her as our former cook. Already familiar to many, she also comes to us with many resources to serve the community. Kerry Haynes started in February, and Kerry comes with an extensive background of working with the elderly, non-profit management, program and event planning, and has been working hard to get to know all our current seniors and hopes to meet many more in the coming months. Antoinette DeLizio just recently joined us as Cook. She comes to us with a wide range of experiences in food service and puts her warm personality into everything she cooks. Mary Lyons continues to keep things working with her remarkable administrative skills and answers to all the questions. Some new faces and some familiar faces, we are working hard to make YOUR Parks and Recreation Department and Community and Senior Center a great place to get fit, learn a new skill, get a delicious meal and meet friends and make new ones. I’m confident in saying it is a joy to all of us to serve the North Branford Community, but we can’t do it alone. It takes you! It takes your thoughts and ideas, your feedback and your praise. Do not hesitate to reach out to us. This brochure reflects many of your thoughts and ideas! You will find both old favorites and new offerings as well. We all look forward to serving you.

CITs preserve traditions, are bridges between campers and counselors, and they have energy and enthusiasm in ways the adults sometimes can’t. They also find themselves in an awkward position: not a typical camper and not quite yet adult staff. It takes a special person to walk that line, and that could be you. Can you tell when it is time to work vs. time to play? Can you look at a situation and see the safety of the campers before anything else? Are you ready to be a leader and take responsibility for others? If you answered yes to those questions, then we want you! We often have more applicants than spots available, and some people are more ready than others. Not everyone will be able to be a CIT. There are several steps to becoming a CIT: 1. Check to make sure you are entering grade 9-11 next school year. 2. Fill out an employment application form. We know you may not have a lot to enter in terms of your work experience, etc. but just 3. 4. 5. do the best you can. It’s good practice and gives you a chance to think about what you have accomplished. (The CIT applicant should be filling this out. We are sure you have wonderful parents, but THEY won’t be working with us!) Write a paragraph or two about why you want to be a CIT. It looks like fun, and it sure can be, but it also has responsibilities, and camp is NOT necessarily for YOU to have fun, it is for the campers to have fun and be safe. That is the most important thing. Complete a registration form so we have emergency contacts as well as your preferred sessions. Please note, we generally only allow CITs to attend two sessions. List as many sessions as you like with an order of preference. We will do our best to give you the session(s) you want. (It is first come, first served.) Return all forms with payment for the number of sessions you want to attend. ($70 per one-week session) To get an application packet, please visit the community center. Once we have all of your information, we will schedule a time for interviews. 17 KIDZ KAMP 2016 Whether a single session or a whole summer, Kidz Kamp offers the kind of summer we all remember: The happiness of a game well played.
