Summer Playground

Every summer the Township of Cumru runs a 6-8 week daytime (9am-1pm) playground program for children ages 5-13. Each day is filled with games, sports, activities, and crafts. Every Wednesday is popsicle day and Friday is field trip day! This past summer our group of 20 leaders ran daytime playground programs at Montrose Manor and the Warren Recreation Center, as well as an evening (6:30pm-8:30pm) program at the Gouglersville Fire Company. We had over 160 children attend our programs this year, and were able to provide some great trips to places like the Reading Public Museum and Planetarium, Ozzy's, and the French Creek State park Swimming Pool to name a few. This year we also ended the year in a big way with our Family Carnival, we had food, games, moon bounces, and over 200 people in attendance. Overall Playground 2012 was a great success. Next years program is already being planned, and details will be available in the future.

Punt, Pass, and Kick
| |
In 2012 we hosted our 3rd Annual PPK Competition at the Mifflin Multipurpose field. Thanks to our partnership with the Mifflin Broncos and GMSD it was a great success. 60 Children ages 6-15 participated in punting, passing, and kicking a football as far as they could. Their distances were added up and winners were crowned. All of the score were submitted to the NFL PPK program, that helps bring the best PPK competitors together at larger regional and national events. Everyone in attendance had a great time with the competiton, food, and drinks. This has become a staple event for our fall programing, so stayed tuned for our next xompetition this September!
