A Message from Town Supervisor
JOHN VENDITTO
Dear Neighbor,
Welcome to the Town of Oyster Bay’s 2015 Summer Program. Even at a brief glance you’ll find a wealth of
enjoyable cultural, sports and recreational activities we’re sure will guarantee you a fun and memorable summer.
The Department of Community and Youth Services has planned outstanding programs and events for our
residents of all ages to enjoy. From our children’s programs to summer events and field trips for seniors, there is
fun for everyone.
The Parks Department has done an excellent job preparing acres of park land and sandy beaches to
provide the ideal settings for a summer of non-stop outdoor enjoyment. There are so many opportunities for
recreational fun at our parks, ranging from swimming to year round activities such as ice skating at the Ice Skating
Center in Bethpage. In an effort to help residents get the most of their leisure time, the Recreation Division has
some terrific programs aimed at all ages and interests.
My fellow Town Board members and I take pride in the Town of Oyster Bay’s summer recreation and
cultural programs, which are among the finest on Long Island. The Town of Oyster Bay will continue our
long-standing track record of providing Town residents with the very best in recreational services. This year, make
the Town of Oyster Bay your “Staycation” Destination. Here’s to having a fun and healthy summer.
Sincerely,
Town Supervisor

with the GAP Director, who will explain the program,
answer any questions, determine if GAP is appropriate
for the child and explore how GAP can best meet the
child’s needs.
Organized recreational activities are varied and
include arts & crafts, swimming, sports, group games,
music, weekly trips and more.
GAP’s focus is “group activity.” Participants are
encouraged to become comfortable interacting with
peers. We endeavor to help developmentally disabled
participants improve social skills and increase their
possibilities for positive socialization. Many GAP
participants have formed friendships that extend
beyond the program.
GAP provides approximately a one-to-four ratio of
staff (Activities Specialists and Recreation Aides) to
participants. Activities Specialists are professionals
who have been approved by Civil Service, with a
minimum of a bachelor’s degree and approximately
one year of paid experience with developmentally
disabled persons. Recreation Aides are most often
high school or college students who are pursuing
careers in the human service fields.
Participants are divided into small groups based on
age, type of disability and interests. Every effort is
made to group each child with others who have similar
capabilities and interests. For additional information and applications,
please call the GAP office at 797-7947.
