There has been so much excitement and anticipation about the return of the Deerfield Summer Park Program. And here is what we know so far.

Our first day will be July 5th 2021. We start our day at 8:30 am and end the day with a strict 3:00pm PICK UP TIME, every day throught the 6 week, unless it is otherwise noted.

The Program runs Mondays through Thursdays - Weekly until August 12th when the program ends.

Children are welcome to join and leave anytime during the day as long as the selected guardian is there to sign them in or out. MANDATORY SIGN IN AND OUT !

All children who attend MUST have a refillable drink bottle with Name on it, as well as a bag or back pack to their belongings in when not being used. We would prefer a change of clothing be included in that bag as well as a towel for water fun days. We suggest that if your child decides to attend for a full day that he/she is provided with a morning snack, Lunch, and afternoon snack.

It looks as though we will have a large number of newcomers, average age of 6-7 years of age, Please review with your Child before attending - good manner rules, working and playing together with others and NO bullying ethics. Swearing, Bullying, fighting, constant Arguing, and disrespect toward staff and others will NOT be tolerated and if continued will result in dismissal of the program.

No Scooter, hoverboards, bicycles will be allowed unless it is part of a specific event that we are holding.

The Town of Deerfield is providing a staff of 6 councilors, 1 senior councilors and 1 youth Leader. These staff member will do their best to supervise and organize a safe fun filled day for your children. They are here to cicipline safely, play games, organize sports, do arts and crafts, to aid in your children enjoyment this summer.

This is Generalized supervision and does not provide for individual specific attention to any one child.
