The three groups are super- vised by Jeff Mikus, Cindy Sopel, and Stacy Wallwin, all of whom are returning staff from last summer. Ernie & Bert is a morning program for 3 and 4 year olds. Tot Lot, for kids aged 5 and 6, and Summer Day Camp for 7 to 12 year old kids meet in the afternoon. "The number of kids partici- pating has doubled from last year," said Mikus. "Attendance has been really good." The children are kept very busy with a wide variety of activities. Some of the events include swimming, bowling, nature walks, and library visits. Theme days such as the Teddy Bear Picnic have also been very popular. The staff encourages the older groups to suggest activities that interest them. "They are always busy. In fact, we usually run out of time for the activity," Mikus said. The groups hope to get together with playgrounds from other communities sometime in the near future. The Schreiber swim pro- gram is into its second session of the summer. All of the swimming lessons take place at White Sand Lake. The lessons are based on the Red Cross cur- riculum and cover the levels from Yellow to White. There are about 40 kids enrolled in this session, as compared to almost 80 in July. Nicole Gauthier, program supervisor, explained the dis- crepancy. "The lake just gets too cold now," she said. "Also, it seems that many people take holidays in August." Gauthier claims that there are definite advantages to learning to swim in a lake as opposed to a pool. "Most water accidents hap- pen at lakes while boating," she said. "All we have are lakes around here - the kids are better off learning to swim in the lake." She said that most of the kids are not afraid of the lake, but they don't like the cold.
