WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear Neighbors,

Say good-bye to winter and hello to spring and summer. Get up, go outside and get active. This issue of Splash! is your guide to an ocean of fun that awaits you here in Ocean City.

Pick a park and go play with your children or grandchildren outdoors. You might want to visit Robin Park on Robin Drive to try out the new state of the art playground there. Whether you visit Robin Park or one of our other fine local parks, we encourage you to get active and be healthy while having fun.

Pick a park and go for a concert. If you like music, come to Sundaes in the Park at Northside Park at 6:00 p.m. Sundays starting July 8 or enjoy Concerts on the Beach each Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. starting on July 11. If you are looking for some entertainment and a fun time on Thursday evenings you should plan to attend Sunset Park Party Night at Sunset Park downtown at 7:00 p.m. for a concert on the bay starting on July 5. Or how about catching a Free Movie on the Beach on Monday and Friday nights at dusk starting on June 25 at 27th Street. Details of these and other events this summer are available at www.ococean.com/sep.html or in this issue of Splash!

Visit your favorite spot on the beach. Captain Butch Arbin and the entire Ocean City Beach Patrol staff have been busy preparing for the new swim season, which opens on Saturday, May 26. Guards will be on duty on the beach from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from opening day until Sunday, September 23. This issue of Splash! contains some important advice to help you and your family have a safe, healthy and enjoyable beach season. Always remember to “keep your feet in the sand until the guard is in the stand.”

Choose some camps and enjoy the fun. Our summer camp schedule is brimming over with fun choices for children. Our camp season opens the week of June 18 with Camp Horizon and Scamper Camp. We are pleased to announce that we have added two new camps: a Kayak Fishing Camp and a Surfing Camp. For a full description of all of our children’s camps, pick up a copy of the Beach Ball Camp Brochure the next time you are at Northside Park or go to www.ocsportscamps.com

We hope you find something exciting to try in this issue of SPLASH! Whatever you choose, we think you will “Discover an Ocean of Fun!”
