The kickoff of summer programming this year was a great one.
The day was filled with excellent finds, and lots of thrills for all the kids
who spent time with us.
Our morning started at Blacks Creek with our partner sailing
program run by the Quincy Rec. Department. I was happy to see a lot of familiar
faces returning from last summer join us for games and exploration in this
wonderful estuary. Even more exciting was the growth in size of our program
at the site, made evident by the presence of so many newcomers.

| Horseshoe Crabs are always a big hit. |
After finishing up in Quincy, the team and I headed out to
Camp Harbor View on Long Island. This beautiful harbor island is a special
place, and the camp at its end is a true gem. Run by The Boys and Girls Club,
it offers all the opportunities of the finest summer camps, but offered to the
children of Boston for a mere 5 dollars per four week session.

| Live skates provide excellent opportunities for brief bio lessons |
The day there started at fishing club, where we managed to
catch a small skate, leading a lot of excitement on the docks. Even more well
received was the 38in Striped Bass provided to us by Bruce Berman. Filleting
and dissection of this behemoth went over particularly well, and the kids were
ecstatic to be able to take home some delicious pieces.
