Children’s Beach House campers get on the water
Weeklong summer camps at Children’s Beach House in Lewes are part of the organization’s Youth Development Program, which serves underresourced children with special needs and their families across Delaware. Children ages 7 to 18 take part in activities designed to strengthen communication and leadership skills while they build friendships and confidence, said Camp Coordinator Paul Seyfert.
Community partners, including Freedom Boat Club, offer participants the chance to discover a world of possibilities.
Many of the volunteers are members of the Freedom Boat Club Sea Sisters. Weekly boat rides will continue through Aug. 8.
According to its website, the mission of Children’s Beach House, founded in 1937, is to improve the lives of children, youth, families and communities by helping them to identify, understand and utilize their own strengths, talents and resources.
The Margaret H. Rollins Child Development Center provides children with speech and language delays a language-rich environment alongside their typically developing peers, where they all learn skills necessary for success in kindergarten and elementary school.
The Youth Development Program helps children, youth, families and communities build safe, supportive environments and long-term relationships that provide the opportunities, resources and confidence to develop their natural skills and talents.
The social enterprise Greater Good Events provides opportunities for CBH to engage with families and communities who are celebrating important events while providing much-needed financial support for programs for children.
