2020 Session II Program Guide Is Online: Register by Friday, August 14!

Click here to view or download the program guide. Registration closes Friday, August 14 at 12:00 pm.  Please Note: Due to the high demand for in-person programming, registration for these programs will be conducted using a lottery rather than first come, first served. All registrants will be added to a waitlist. After the registration deadline, a random lottery will determine the participants who will be enrolled into the program. All registered participants will be contacted regarding the outcome of the lottery.  For more information regarding Session II programs, contact Recreation Manager Dani Kern at dkern@nssra.org.

Help Us Cross the Finish Line!

As announced in a recent communication, we are thrilled to re-launch NSSRA Foundation’s A Place to Belong Capital Campaign with nearly $1.9M of our $2.2M goal raised to date through private donations. Now it’s time to bring the campaign to all who love and support NSSRA participants to help us cross the finish line!   We will soon invite you to participate in a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign. We welcome you to create your own personal fundraising page and share why NSSRA is important to you, then ask your friends and family to support the campaign for NSSRA’s new home. Your support is truly needed to reach our goal … we are seeking 100% NSSRA family participation in this exciting campaign.   Be on the lookout for an email from us next week with all the details. In the meantime, feel free to contact Laurie DeSimone, Foundation Manager, with any questions at ldesimone@nssra.org.
