Special Needs Youth Baseball Night and Recreation Programs are Set for This Summer

The 7th annual TryCAN Baseball Under the Lights, hosted by Summit Community Programs and TryCAN, takes place Friday, June 17, 2016 at Jefferson School Field at 110 Ashwood Avenue in Summit, with a tailgate starting at 6:30pm and game at 7:15pm. Join us as family, friends, teen peer volunteers and coaches cheer on the baseball talents of our special kids. Special thanks to the Summit Junior Baseball, Sharkey’s Snack Shack, the Summit FMBA, the Summit Fire Department, Thompson Sporting Goods, and the Summit Elks Lodge for their generous support. We have a full team of players now but would love the public to join us, even just for a few minutes, to cheer our kids on. For more information, please contact Kevin at summitcan@gmail.com.

In our summer Dance and Movement camp, children (ages 5-8) participate in a unique learning environment as they move with use of traditional music and songs, creative movement, dance and rhythms, games and props that provide sensory stimulation, art, and storytelling. Group meets 11:00-11:45 am.

In our summer Mini Yoga camp, children (ages 8-12) use breathing and other calming techniques plus fun poses and games to learn respect for themselves and others while improving body awareness and ability to relax. Group meets 11:50 am - 12:35 am.

Another Dance and Movement camp, for older youth (ages 10-15) will have those youth having a blast learning new ways to move to their favorite music while improving flexibility and coordination and provide sensory stimulation. Group meets 12:40-1:25 pm.

All summer camps meet on Sundays (June 26, July 10, 17, 24) at the Summit Community Center, 100 Morris Avenue and are led by Michele Goldin, Expert Dance and Movement Therapist and assisted by our teen peer volunteers, who help our kids participate and have fun.
