he summer season is here again! For the
Recreation Services Department, play means
planning a serious offering of activities through

The opportunities and interests met are unparalleled in South Florida.
Online registration is available for all the camps. Our goal is to touch the
lives of everyone in the community and for people of all ages and abilities,
to enjoy the “City within a Park”.

Since 1956, July has been designated as Recreation and Parks Month by
the National Recreation and Parks Association which advocates for parks,
recreation and environmental conservation that enhance your quality of
life. The City of Boca Raton joins in this national celebration with an official
Proclamation from Mayor Susan Haynie. We are fortunate to be able to
express our freedom with fireworks, food, music, and all the activities that
are the 4th of July.
Enjoy your Summer!

DID YOU KNOW?
The most common places for
daytime auto burglaries are beaches,
parks, gyms, and daycare.
Here are a few reminders
• Always lock your vehicle and roll
up the windows, no matter how long
you will be away.
• Limit what you bring to our
beaches & parks; an empty vehicle
deters thieves.
• Don’t leave purses, wallets,
electronics, money, sunglasses,
diaper bags, gym bags, or keys in
your vehicle.
• Please watch out for subjects
who loiter, appear to be lifting door
handles or are looking into windows.
Report these people immediately to
police by calling 561-368-6201, 911,
or alert a nearby park ranger.
• Thieves are always watching!
Placing your
belongings in the
trunk or under
your seat does not
safeguard them.

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
Sea Bathers Eruption (Sea Lice)
What is it? Ocean bathers report red welts and blotches, which are
concentrated under the swimsuit and other parts of the body after
swimming in the ocean. Itching and redness usually occur several
hours after ocean bathing. Some experience a slight “prickling”
sensation while they are in the water. This occurs mostly from April
to July.
Symptoms: Itching -- usually lasts 2-4 days, but it can last as long
as 2 weeks. Some people have more severe reactions, including
headache, fever, nausea and infected blisters. Children may develop
high fever.
Prevention: Make sure you change out of your bathing suit before
showering. This may reduce your risk for sea bather’s eruption by
half.
Treatment: An oral antihistamine may help to relieve the itching.
Also, an over-the-counter topical 1% cortisone cream or sting aid
may be helpful. With severe reactions or complications, call your
physician immediately. For more information, call (561) 514-5369,
HRS-Palm Beach County Public Health Unit.
