Program Spotlight: Playground Program

Children in costumes for
"Wacky Wednesday"
The Summer Playground Program is the most popular program the Recreation Department offers.  The Playground Program gives Haverford Township children an opportunity to enjoy their summer being active outside with their friends.  Game favorites include Dodgeball, Knock-out, Stick Ball and more.  Checkers, Connect Four, Spit and MASH are just a few of the table games we get a kick out of.  Each week has an Arts and Crafts theme, anything from Sports to Carnival, with a different craft related to the theme each day.  On Wednesdays we have a special day at each park.  July 4th Bike Parade, Water Day and a Luau are a few.  "Fabulous Fridays"  gives campers two options.  Go on one of our pre-registered weekly trips, or come to the Haverford Reserve and enjoy games, arts and crafts, and even a water slide on the Turf Field.  Life be in it day is our final celebration of camp.  Activities could be anything from a slip and slide, to a hula-hoop contest to a checkers tournament.  Every child leaves Life be in it day with a prize.
