Summer Recreation Program
All Westhampton Beach residents entering grades K- 8 in September 2011 are welcome to enroll in the Summer Recreation Program. The program runs from Tuesday, July 5 through Friday, July 29. Students entering grades K – 2 will spend their day with one group: Kindergarten Club, Future First Graders, and Soon-to-be Second Graders. These groups will enjoy the same variety of recreational activities while remaining in the same group with one teacher. Students entering grades 3 through 8 will be given the freedom of choosing their activities each hour of the morning.
Students living within the Westhampton Beach District will also be able to attend swimming lessons. The enrollment for each session of swimming is limited. Swimming lessons are available only to Westhampton Beach School District residents. Summer recreation registration and fees must be paid to participate in swimming lessons.
Summer Academy
Summer Academy provides extra academic support for children entering grades 1 - 6. The program provides 60 minutes of hands-on activities to help strengthen academic abilities while also providing the opportunity to attend the Summer Recreation Program. Summer Academy enrollment is based on teacher recommendations only. If your child was recommended they will receive a schedule from their teacher within the closing weeks of the school year. The schedule and registration form must be returned by the date indicated to participate. This program will run concurrently with summer recreation. Parents who want their child to attend both Summer Academy and Summer Recreation must also register their child for summer recreation and pay the Summer Recreation fee.
