Message from our Director...
Amherst Recreation
Where has the time gone? After 21 years working for the Town of Amherst, I will be retiring this spring.
These past four plus years as Amherst Recreation’s Director, have been the most rewarding in my career.
I am extremely grateful for the incredible opportunity I have had to serve our community.
While I will miss my fabulous staff, Commission members, volunteers, and colleagues, I am very much looking for-
ward to the next chapter in my life.
Thank you to everyone for your on-going support. Together we have accomplished amazing things and I’m proud to
say that Amherst Recreation is well positioned for future success.
Thank you again for an incredible 21 years!
Barb Bilz, Director

A Message from the Camp Director -
Dear Family and Friends of the Community,
We are excited to announce that Amherst Recreation (formally LSSE) will be returning this summer with a New and Improved
Summer Day Camp! Time Travelers, Around The World, and Welcome to The Jungle are just a few of the themes we will be an-
ticipating this summer. Once the themes and dates of the program are revealed in detail you may notice a few changes, these
were made in accordance with CDC, government, and local health official guidelines. Group sizes will be smaller to ensure
safety, social distancing, and possible contact tracing precautions. Due to these group size restrictions, we will be unable to run
our anticipated CIT (Counselor in Training Program ) this summer. However, we do plan on running that program in the sum-
mer of 2022. So stay tuned! Some of our beloved camp events where parents/guardians had been invited in the past will be
revamped in the interest of safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. All parents/ guardians will be notified if they will be allowed
to attend these events per our local Health department’s recommendations. We are anticipating that we will be spending the
majority of the time outdoors with new fun and exciting games and activities! Please know that the Camp Program Directors
are continuously working on staying up to date on guidance from the CDC, local and state government. All camp staff will be
trained extensively in Covid-19 preparedness and general camp safety procedures. We realize that in our ever-changing envi-
ronment our programming has the potential to be modified in the interest of safety. Camp Directors and staff will continue to
strive to maintain excellence in contributing to a fun and fantastic camp experience!
We greatly look forward to seeing familiar faces and new ones as we enter the 2021 camp season!
Warmly,
Nicole Abelli

those themes. Then on Friday, the kids will enjoy our annual Camp Carnival complete with games, prizes, dancing,
and yummy concessions! This year our Camp Carnival event will be conducted outdoors under tents for adequate
social distancing and to ensure the safety of our staff and campers. The Themes Days are as follows: Pajama day,
