During the spring a series of meetings were held to discuss upcoming state registration requirements and the impact these would have on the program. It was decided that the parent group would evaluate program options and in June voted to invite the YMCA of Tompkins County to take over leadership of this program. In the fall of 1999 Vera Howe Stait became the site coordinator. The program has expanded enrollment numbers and days of operation. United Way funds are available for scholarships. Newsletter The Council is responsible for the production of three newsletters each year. The newsletter is intended as a way to provide the Enfield Community with updated Focal news and activity schedules, including summer camp registration forms. Earl Kaiser served as the Editor until December of 1999. Summer Camp — Summer Camp is a six week summer program operated at the Community Center and operates from 9:00 to 2:00.

This year the camp director was also providing oversight to the after summer school camp operated at the Enfield School. CIT Program This Counselor in Training program provides an opportunity for younger teens to receive specific training and work along side adult counselors during the summer. The combination of workshops and hands on experience provides an excellent background for young people hoping to become counselors, when they are 16. In 1999 the counselors worked at the camps at the Community center and at the Elementary school. Each young person completing the CIT program received a stipend.

Programs have included a Monday Makers Club, Friday crafts activities at Dewitt school, Excursions to the Science Center, Robertson Museum, Syracuse Zoo, and hiking at Treman Park. The Outing program was offered with 12 Enfield youth participating in outdoor adventure activities meant to increase self confidence and group skills. A special highlight of the Teen program this year were two Teen Dances organized by a group of local teens, supported by local adults, held at the Community Building.
