Programs provided in 2000:
Newsletter The Council publishes three issues of the Enfield Community
Currents each year, in April, August and December. This newsletter
provides the Enfield Community with Town news, community updates and
activity schedules. The spring issue includes Enfield camp registration
forms. During 2000 the mailing list was updated and as a result the
newsletter now reaches 1177 homes and businesses in the Town of Enfield.
Kim Albrecht is the editor for the Enfield Currents.
Summer Camp — Summer Camp is a six week program held at the
Community Center and operates from 9:00 to 2:00. Before and after camp
care is available for working parents. Programs include nature, swimming,
sports, arts and crafts, and drama. There are also a variety of field trips
and special days offered. In 2000 the Enfield Day Camp collaborated with
the Computer /Garden camp held at the Enfield Elementary School. We
were excited to receive a grant from the Family Reading Partnership which
made it possible to provide children with their own books and expanded
the camp library. This program utilizes United Way funds to provide
scholarships and enrichment activities. Tonia Clate returned for her third
year as the Camp Director.
CIT Program This Counselor in Training program provides an opportunity
for younger teens to receive specific training and work with adult
counselors during the summer. A combination of workshops and hands-on
experience provides an excellent background for young people hoping to
become counselors. In 2000 the CIT Counselors were placed at the
Community Center and at the Elementary School. Each young person
completing the CIT program received a stipend.
Teen Program ECC continued to work with Cornell Cooperative Extension to
design and provide teen programs and family enrichment trips. This year
teens participated in a variety of activities including, but not limited to,
crafts, cooking, environmental projects, job skills and outings.
Communitv Trips included visits to; MOST Museum; Corning Glass
Museum, Macedon Corn Maze and the Hanger Theater. With an increased
allocation from United Way the Program Manager position expanded to 35
hours. With the additional hours and Shannon McSurely,as the Program
Manger, these programs thrived.
Harvest Festival - The Harvest Festival is an annual fundraising event. This
year the event expanded to three tents: which held a food concession,
children's games and musical entertainment. Festival activities included a
Chicken Barbecue, Quilt Raffle, Silent Auction, Ping Pong Ball drop, and
local vendors. All proceeds go to youth programming. Chair person was
Ann Rider, Co-chair was Rose Pellegrino.
After school Program — This program is now an independent program
operated at the Enfield Elementary School by the YMCA of Tompkins
County. The after school program receives scholarship funds from United
Way. The site coordinator for this program is Vera Howe -Strait
Recreation Partnershiu - The Town of Enfield is a member of the
Recreation Partnership. This is a partnership between the outlying
municipalities and City of Ithaca. Enfield pays a fee for this membership,
which enables youth living in the town to participate in the recreation
programs offered at the Ithaca Youth Bureau.
Collaborations and Snonsorshins
During 2000 the ECC collaborated with the Elementary School, 21s'
Century program, and local groups to maintain and expand opportunities
for youth and families in Enfield.
