By Marilyn Payne Te 2010 Woodfin Summer Pro-


gram started up its annual service to the area Monday (June 21), pro- viding daily childcare and camp ac- tivities at the Woodfin Community Center. Kylie Peek is directing the pro-


gram for her fourth year since being asked by Woodfin Mayor Pro-tem Geneva Maney to help with the proj- ect Maney developed. “We take 5 to 12-year-olds, so


elementary-aged kids. And it’s free,” Peek said. “We do crafts in the morning, then outside time and


then game time in the afternoon. Tat’s the schedule that I just kind of always use.” Te program averaged about 35


kids daily for 2009 and 20 to 24 dur- ing the beginning of this first week this summer. Te one-time registra- tion allows parents to sign their child up. Tere is no obligation, so the child may attend every day or spo- radically as is needed or desired. “We usually get papers sent out to


all of the schools but because they didn’t get sent out this year because of the schools going so late,” Peek said. “We had 10 new kids regis- ter [Tuesday] morning, so word of mouth seems to be doing just fine.”


Most campers return from year to


year but there are new enrollments as well. Eleven-year-old first-timer Timothy Dockery said he is “loving it” so far. “My favorite’s basketball,” Dock-


ery said. “I used to play with one of the guys here. I like cone ball too. And I play football.” Basketball, football and cone ball


are three of the activities campers participate in during outside time. Other options include jump-rope, bubble-blowing, hula-hoop and toss. Eleven-year-old Caleb Tweed ex- plains cone ball. “You just squeeze the cone to


throw the ball and it pops out of the top,” Tweed said. “Ten everybody runs to catch the ball with a cone.” In addition to the daily schedule,


the summer-long program includes plans for field trips to the Mars Hill pool, movies and possibly the WNC Nature Center. Interested parents can contact the community center at 253-4887 or go by any weekday morning.
