BEACON PLACE ??? 

We need lots of teens and adults to make our programs a success this summer - let us know how you would like to be a part of the fun! Opportunities mornings and afternoons, Monday through Thursday, June through August! 

Make your summer truly special this year by making someone else's a little bit brighter!

Looking for a special opportunity? Do you have a specific interest in leading outdoor games and activities for kids? We are looking for a  FIELD COORDINATOR for our outdoor games, one day per week this summer. This individual will organize games and direct campers and volunteers in activities such as relay races, kickball, soccer, and more! Lots of fun and laughs guaranteed!
