JAY — The Spruce Mountain summer recreation program for students entering grades 1-8 will be held from June 22 to July 31 this year. The program will take place from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday-Thursday and from 9 a.m.-noon on Fridays.

The six-week program will offer supervised fun for all students entering grades 1-8. There are a number of exciting trips and fun days planned for them again this year. Themed dress up days are scheduled for most Fridays with prizes awarded.  

Students will meet in the former Livermore Falls High School cafeteria every morning. They will be served breakfast and lunch everyday free of charge. The program will again be coordinating with Dixie Bonnevie to offer many different activities such as Art, Band and Science Camp days.

If interested in sending your child or children to summer rec, completed registration forms must be sent to the Livermore Falls or Jay Town Office by June 19th. Do not return them to the schools.

Program director Sally Boivin said, “I need to have an idea of how many kids will be attending, so I can hire the appropriate number of counselors. T-shirts can be ordered also, and I ask that kids wear them on field trips.”

The daily schedule will be:

Breakfast: 8:45-9 a.m.

Period 1: 9:15-10:15 a.m.

Period 2: 10:15-11:15 a.m.

Lunch, Younger Students: 11:15-11:45 a.m.

Lunch, Older Students: 11:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.

Period 3: 12:15-1 p.m.

Period 4: 1-1:50 p.m.

End of the Day, Mon.-Thurs.: 1:50-2 p.m.

The day will end on Friday at 12 p.m.

The registration fee for Livermore Falls and Jay residents is $35 for the first child and $20 for each child thereafter. The fee for Livermore residents is $65 for the first child and $35 for each additional child. For children from other towns, the fee is $110.

Spruce Mtn. Summer Recreation T-Shirts are available for $8 each. The appropriate size should be indicated on the registration form. Checks should be made payable to the Livermore Falls Town Office and returned there on or before June 19.

On days that trips are scheduled, children will need to bring money with them. Basic costs for the trips usually run between $2 and $5 for each child. More may be needed if they want to buy snacks or play the games that will be available. 

Participating children may not be dropped off before 8:45 a.m. and must be picked up no later than the end time listed for each day of the summer recreation program.

Boivin has experience running the program. This is her 4th year as director but she also served as director for several years about 14 years ago.
