As a child, summer time was my favorite time of year. Beginning with Memorial Day, and ending with Labor Day, summer to me was a welcome break from school, and a time to be a “park rat” to play, visit new places, swim, play ball, read for fun, bike, fish, learn a new art or craft, and meet new people. To offer Boca Raton residents these same opportunities, the Recreation Services staff have been busy planning activities and programs to keep you and your children active until school is back in session. In July, we have the traditional mid-Summer 4th celebration to enjoy the freedoms, which we enjoy as a nation. With 40 different camp offerings and our Library reading program, the summer in Boca Raton has a variety of activities to entice children to keep their minds and bodies active. We offer traditional, environmental, spy, and even surf camps. Your children can develop their creative talents by writing and directing a movie, or see how our new 3-D printer works. I believe we are offering an unparalleled array of opportunities. I am also excited about having online registration available for all camps, for the very first time. I trust that this process will go smoothly. 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. 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”.

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.

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.
