FUN IN THE SUN


Summer is coming! It may seem far away as we all watch the temperature drop, but it will be here before we know it. We invite you to share with us what activities your child will be involved with this summer. Perhaps you have a 12-month educational program for your child, or send him/her to a wonderful camp each year… maybe you are a single mom or dad who has a great daycare plan for the summer. If you work, how will your child spend their time?

Please fill out the following survey and then look for the results on our website in mid-March. We also encourage you to check out the Federation for Children with Special Needs website and see their annual Camp Directory online (due to be posted February 6). Massachusetts has many recreational activities for families that we will be sharing with you in the coming months.

Please share your answers to the following questions:


1. What recreational activities do you have planned for your child for the upcoming summer?

2. If you work, what will your child be doing this summer?


3. Does your child take advantage of the programs at:


Local Recreation Programs: Yes  No
