Summer Camp
After 11 weeks at full capacity, Summer Camp ended on August l5th. This year's program boasted
greater attendance than last summer and the field trips were a welcome addition for both parents and
campers.
Back to School Jamboree
This year was a huge success and because it was held in combination with Cape View's registration,
attendance was higher than ever before. 200 backpacks were stuffed with school supplies and provided to
families in need. Parents were very thankful to the City and children were excited to receive a brand new
backpack. BCSO PAL and City volunteers helped stuff the backpacks the night before and assisted in
handing them out throughout the event. We are grateful to BCSO for its contribution towards the
purchase of the backpacks.
Social Media
In addition to our Facebook Account, the City has also created a Twitter page as an avenue for citizens
and tourists to connect with city and learn about its programs and events.
