Dear Families and Friends of Orchard Park Recreation,

First and foremost, we hope you are all doing

well. February 1st was opening day for Summer Camp

Registration as it is each year. By March 1st most of

the variety of 18 camps were sold out. By March 1st

most of our 125 summer staff were hired. By March

1st OPREC was on pace for achieving its 17th

consecutive year of growth. By March 1st the

excitement within the OPREC operation was at an all

time high.

And then the world as we have known it

changed. Under the unwavering leadership of

Assistant Director, Kristin Santillo, and our caring,

compassionate part time staff, OPREC salvaged a

healthy and safe summer of programs. It was heart

breaking to only be able to service a fraction of our

normal participants and hire a third of our incredible

summer staff. We did prevail which bought joy to the

campers, parents and OPREC.

Now that we call our new home the Community

Activity Center on California Road a full slate of Fall

programs are in progress. Winter programs are being

planned and soon enough we will be planning for the

Summer of 2021. OPREC truly appreciates the

community’s support in everything we do. We

promise to continue to provide programming which

will always add to the quality of life in Orchard Park.

Please stay in touch with us by going to our

website at oprec.org. We look forward to the “new

normal” in which we are back to serving all our fami-

lies in Orchard Park.

Stay Safe!

Ed Leak

Director of Recreation,

Orchard Park playgrounds are undergoing improvements.

Visit them all. Stop in to the Recreation Office for your

very own Passport to Parks Booklet.
