tolerated 2. Listen to the Staff Members at all times -- disruptions ruin the fun for everybody

Christian’s LawChristian’s Law requires that municipal and recreational programs and licensed camps make a de-

termination of each participating minor’s swimming ability at the first swimming session conducted at a Massachusetts fresh or saltwater beach, in order to identify and classify non-swimmers and

swimmers. Non-swimmers are defined as a program participant who at testing do not meet crite-ria for a Red Cross Level 3. (Child must be able to jump into chest deep water from the side, swim front crawl for 15 yards with face in the water and rhythmic breathing pattern (to front or side),

maintain position by treading or floating for 30 seconds and swim back crawl for 15 yards.) As such, all children participating in the Wilderness and Middle School Park programs will be required to

have a swim test prior to their program. All children must attend one of our swim testing dates, and be tested by our lifeguard. We have worked very closely with the Woburn Boys & Girls Club and have set aside some times for you to bring your child to be swim tested. The Woburn Boys &

Girls Club is located at 1 Charles Gardner Dr. in Woburn. Please see the times below:Mondays (3 - 4:30pm) Saturdays (1:30 - 3pm)

May 5, 12, 19 / June 9, 16, 23 May 3, 17, 31 / June 7

Those children that are classified as non-swimmers will be required to wear a US Coast Guard Certified personal flotation device (PFD) while swimming. This PFD can either be provided by

the Recreation Department or they may be brought by the child. Our staff will conduct a fit test on all non-swimmers to ensure that PFD’s are properly fitting. Children that have not completed the swim test will be classified as a non-swimmer and be required to wear a PFD to any swimming

events. Children will only need to be swim tested once this summer.

of the spine to the top of the skull. In this type of yoga, the experience is most important, not the form. You don’t have to be able to twist yourself like a pretzel or be in great physical shape. Kundalini yoga works if you can breathe and move your body. Come unlock the creative potential within as you raise your Kundalini energy with this life-changing practice. Please bring a yoga mat,

towel, or small blanket and water.

Block Island, previously called Manisses (“Island of the Little God”) by the Narragansett Indians, is a popular family vacation resort. Its only town, Old Harbor, has the look and feel of old New

The “Thimbles” have often been described as “a piece of Maine coast that drifted into Long Island Sound”. Summer excursion vessels plied these waters during the “golden age” of the Victorian Era. Twenty-three of the islands are large enough to be inhabited. Approximately 85 homes,

built mostly during the Victorian Era, are complete with widow walks, gingerbread trimmings, and genteel gazebos. Islands range in all sizes, and have spartina and pink granite with the larger ones boating scrub pine and hardwoods, making the islands appear to be deceivingly tropical in nature.

Born in Concord, MA and raised in Billerica, Tom attended Billerica Memorial High School. An excellent student, Tom was a letterman in ice hockey as well as baseball. In 1984, Tom was drafted

by both the LA Kings in the NHL entry draft and the Atlanta Braves MLB organization in the 2nd round of the amateur draft. Electing to play baseball, he made his major league debut on August

17, 1987. Named World Series MVP when the Braves defeated the Cleveland Indians to win the 1995 World Series, Tom pitched two winning games and eight innings of one-hit shutout baseball.

Still with the Braves, Tom went to four other World Series with the team. Next, he went to the NY Mets, the rival of Atlanta with his career, then returning to the Atlanta Braves where his number

47 was retired in 2010. His story is one that a boy could only dream about! Now the date is set in July – Thomas Glavine will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame…and you could be there!

Rich in history and a favorite summer haven for many notables over the year. The original people of Martha’s Vineyard include Native American Wampanoags. Unable to prove, but it’s believed that the first humans probably came here at the end of the Ice Age, but before the sea levels

changed and the island was formed. Native American camps that carbon-date to 2270 BC have been uncovered on the island. As you tour the island, you will learn the rich history of immigrants from England and the Cape Verde Island, farmers, fishermen, blacksmiths and merchants who settled

here as a safe haven. Through the colonial period, the raiding British, the age of whaling and the Civil War, Martha’s Vineyard became a nurturing place where all people could prosper. This trip
