RECREATION DIVISION MONTHLY REPORT COMMUNITY LEISURE SERVICES Summer Playgrounds The playgrounds went very well this summer with an average daily atten- dance of 32 participants per site . A rough summer participation total is 7 sites at 32 participants per site times 39 program days or 8 , 700 summer participants . This figure roughly indicates a 700 participant increase over last year . Canyon Park ( this year ' s newest program addition ) proved successful with an average attendance of 38 . Leaders with a strong nature orien- tation were assigned to Canyon Park with a moto-cross , construction of "no name city" and a western theme Penny Carnival among the summer highlights . Most of our trips were successful with the exception of the Winchester Mystery House- Lake Vasona Park trip . We will continue to evaluate our program sites , trips and special events each summer in order to up-grade our programming efforts . Day Camp One of the most successful summers ever . The staff did an excellent job programming . An example of their efforts was the final week of Tiny Timbers when the staff planned each day with a special theme . Visitors that helped make that " theme " come alive included : Mother Nature , Smokey the Bear , Black Beard the Pirate and Black Bart the Outlaw . Every camp session was filled and the overnights were filled with parent hour , evening hikes , cook outs and stories . This fall we will evaluate the program fee ' s and charges to insure that all campers can continue to enjoy this outdoor adventure . Wilderness Camp While this program continues to be outstanding - it is increasingly difficult to fill each session . We again worked out an agreement with the School District whereby they would send 50 to 60 summer school participants per week . We averaged 37 per week . We had a total of 298 participants or 22 less than last year . - 13-
