News From the Waterfront

Hi Everyone!
On Saturday, May 28th we opened up the Waterfront and Boats for the 2011 summer season. We had a great weekend with lots of new and old faces and great energy! New for the Boats this year we have acquired a new double kayak and a new pedal boat to our fleet. Also, we are now offering a Season Pass to Property Owners in Waterville Valley. The cost is $50 for up to 4 family members and you get one punch per person each day.
Looking for your kids to get into some swim lessons this summer? We are now offering swim lessons on the beach on Tuesdays throughout the summer with an American Red Cross WSI instructor. This can allow kids to learn basic skills for entering the water, basic aquatic skills, safety skills, and breath control all the way up to advanced strokes.
Want to have a campfire on the beach? Just contact our Recreation Director, Rachel, to set up a rental times, staffing and applicable fees.
For more information or questions on all of the above, give us a ring at the Rec. Dept. at 603-236-4695.
See ya on the water!

Memorial Day Weekend

Hey everyone!
This weekend has been very busy and tons of fun! There seem to be quite a few people up here in the valley to enjoy the weekend with us!

Saturday was the 2nd annual "Casting for Kirby"youth fishing derby at Corcoran Pond, and over 100 kids registered this year! There was a casting contest, a BBQ, a 50/50 raffle and tons of great prizes, including a bike and a camping package with a tent! Thanks to all of our sponsors and to everyone who came out to volunteer to make this program a great success. We hope everyone had fun fishing with us! Make sure to check out our Facebook Page for great photos and video from the day!

On Saturday we also opened up the waterfront and boats for the season! We have added some new boats to our fleet, and a new Property Owner Seasons Pass. Check it out!

Memorial Day has become a very important holiday to us here at the Rec. Several of our staff members spent Sunday morning at the 2nd Annual Bobcat 5k in Plymouth, walking or running in memory of Cpt. Doug DiCenzo and SPC Marc Paul Decoteau.Rec. staff at the Bobcat 5k run- "I run for Marc"

Thanks for reading! Hope you all had a great weekend. Keep checking our website for upcoming summer events!

Summer Camp Kickoff 2010!

Finally back in the office and starting to kick off what will be, I’m sure, a great summer here at the Rec Department! I’m psyched to see our staff of almost all returning counselors again after a long winter - and a special welcome to Meagan and Dan who are new to our camp staff this summer! There are so many fun trips planned this summer including the Polar Caves, Six Gun City, Squam Lakes Science Center, Whale’s Tale and more for the WINGS and SOAR groups and crazy adventures such as 10E Mountain Ziplines and Sculptured Rocks, laser tag, and a white water rafting trip for the PEAK and SUMMIT (new this year!) groups!
