Education Program - Our educational component highlights guest speakers to target issues and concerns specific to our community. This tract will emphasize college preparation and career exploration. Group sizes are smaller in order to provide more individualized attention. Food - A hot meal is served to all of our participants. Each participant must have a USDA form completed and on file in order for the NYSP to qualify for the USDA Summer Food Program.
Counselors instruct the children in the basics of nutrition, good table manners, and recycling.
In addition, a snack is provided to all participants each morning. Medical Exam - Each participant must have a current physical examination to participate in the program. Medical screening will be provided for those individuals who cannot secure an exam by their own means. Special Events - Special events are scheduled throughout the program. They may include a nature hike, a talent show and beach and museums trips.
