Summer is in full effect across our programs and residences and the Day Community Opportunities Program (DCOP) is taking full advantage in the southern-most counties we support.

In Westchester County, participants recently took a trip to Playland Park in Rye to enjoy the rides and other attractions. The swimming pool at Rockland Lake State Park provided a place to cool down and get some exercise, the arcade at Palisades Center Mall gave a taste of competition, and the exhibits at Bergen County Zoo offered a chance to walk on the wild side!

Over in Rockland County, the DCOP group tried their hand at some boating, with support from the Rockland Rowing Association and in Orange County ice cream was paired with some creative tie-dying fun.

Finally, in Columbia County, it was time for a “Field Day!” Participants enjoyed tackling some sports and games, like cornhole, and had fun with other activities and crafts, like face-painting, temporary tattoos, and stamping.

We can’t wait to see what all of these fine folks get up to next!
