reetings from the Board of Park Commissioners,
On behalf of our Staff, we would like to express
our appreciation to the people of our Community
for their continued support of the Park & its
Mission. Last year was a record year for
attendance; Close to Half a Million visited the
Park, with over 42,000 enjoying our programs &
events. We believe the increase is attributed to
your positive response & enthusiastic participation
in the diverse & multigenerational programs at
Research by the National
Recreation & Parks Association indicates that
Parks have a positive impact on the quality of
life and that fun, happiness and play are vital to
growth & development. The programs &
activities offered by parks positively influences our
lives & our society as a whole. Please take the
opportunity to visit the Park this Summer,
O
Together. Everyone. Achieves. More.!!

Adventure Day Camp
Education Based Camp
The Camp’s curriculum is designed to be age appropriate, educational, and fun! Our Goal is to blend
summer camp fun and nature education. The campers spend the majority of their time outdoors! They
stay active by participating in daily scheduled educational programs focusing on...
· Arts & Crafts: Daily art lesson and hands-on craft projects.
· Team Building: Build relationships and work on problem solving skills.
· Creative Arts: Play, act, impersonate and have a ball using your imagination.
· Science: Become adventurers and discover nature through hands-on trips into the woods.
· Sports: We keep the campers active with lots of games. It’s PE class outside everyday!
Realizing how beneficial an active Summer is for children, Boardman Park will make every effort
to ensure that their experience is safe, educational and fun-filled. Along with our 5 main subject
areas, we also provide two additional activities. The first encourages the campers to exercise
by taking a 30 minute walk or jog in the Park twice a week. The second is dedicated to reading
books outside in the fresh air once a week. Adventure Day Camp’s expectation is to make for
healthier and happier campers! Camp is an awesome experience of Fun, Socialization and
Education for kids to enjoy their Summer outside!! Don’t let your child miss out on all the FUN!!
