The Downingtown Area Recreation Consortium (DARC) is happy to announce that we are fully operational and running multiple programs in your area!
For those interested in half-day camp, DARC provides a playground camp at Pickering Valley Elementary School every Monday through Thursday for children aged three to eleven. We also offer a variety of youth specialty summer camps to fit your child’s interests. If you’re trying to keep your child’s mind sharp this summer, register them for chess camp at Pickering Valley Elementary or Code Ninja’s Summer Camps in Chester Springs. For your creative kiddos, we offer camps with Schmata Productions, including Eco-Art Camp, Magic and More, and Theatre Experience, all taking place at the Beth Chain Reform Congregation Building.
DARC also has weekly youth art camps at the Chrysalis Art Center in Chester Springs with Beth Valitski. Finally, we offer Boot Camp at Power Play Ice Rinks with Lester Jiles to help you feel your best. DARC is excited to continue serving the West Pikeland community and we hope you consider registering yourself or your child for one of our programs this summer!

Unclaimed Property Database
Nearly $4 billion in collectibles, dormant bank and retirement accounts, jewelry, military medals, stocks, and uncashed checks in Pennsylvania are waiting to be claimed by their rightful owners.
One in ten Pennsylvanians have unclaimed property, and the average property claim is worth $2,000. Chances are you or someone you know has property waiting to be claimed. The first step is to search the online database. If you find you are owed property, feel free to contact my office for assistance in navigating the process to claim it.
Child Tax Credit
As part of the American Rescue Plan, the Child Tax Credit was increased and will be provided monthly for the first time, beginning this month. Starting July 15, families will begin to receive monthly payments of up to $250 for each child 6 to 17 years old and $300 for each child under age 6. The payments, which may help cover thousands of dollars in childcare expenses, run through the end of this year. The IRS estimates that roughly 39 million households — covering almost 90 percent of children in the United States — are slated to begin receiving monthly payments without any further action required.
