If so% the South Huron Rec- reation Centre has the answer with its Exeter Playground program. Program co- ordinator Heather Wagner and her three playground leaders, Jen Van- Bakel, Andrea Urlin and Lindsay Holdsworth, have a full itenerary of events planned for youngsters aged four to 12., Activities based out of the Agriculture Building beside the Rec Centre include crafts, swimming and trips to Hu- ron Park's Bluewater Recycling plant, London's Discovery Zone and Wally World and a hike to Morrison Dam. The activities are planned around theme weeks that include Together Hand -In -Hand (multiculturism), Earthwatch (re- cycling), Under the Sea (water), Earth and Beyond (all about space) and Mystery Week (sur- prise activities each day). "We.try to make it a little more fun than what you learned in school," Wagner said. "It's just basically organized summer fun." Seventy-two children registered in '96, with 20 to 40 kids at- tending each day, Wagner said. Kids from Stephen and Usborne. townships will be bused to Eimer, but the service, sponsored by area Optimist Clubs, is in jeopardy if registration doesn't bit the 10 mark in each township. The camp begins July 7 and ,r., runs each weekday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. until August 8. The last registration session is on July 3, 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. to 7:30, a_ t the Ag Building. Cost is $9 per. day ($4:50 for half day), $ 16 per day for two children from a family and $21 per day for three children from a family. Those who miss the registration -clay can still send their kids to the program any day,as long as they register in advance. Rec. Centre program director Lynne Farquhar said the playground program has been around for as long as she can remember. "1 was a Playground leader at 15," she rem- inisced. The program held its Child Fair fundraiser at the Ag Building yesterday after- noon. Children could enter a num- ber of games for 25e/game and each participant received a prize.

Through an article in a county -wide newspaper,. Patty learned of the pro- gram that offers foreign students English as a Second Language classes She had always been interested in participating in an exchange program but was hesitant to make a year-long commitment. The four-week AFS summer program seemed like a great way to test the waters before signing up for a longer exchange. As a parent, Patty believes the exposure to an older student (Eva in 17) who speaks four languages will be a learning experience for her 14 -year- old daughter and eight-year-old son. "We thought we could (earn about her country and her culture," said Pat- ty, adding the whole family is looking forward to the visit. Eva will be staying with the Webbers between July 24 and August 22. She is part of a group of students from Austria, Italy and the Dominican Republic who are visitng Huron County for a month this summer. They will take English classes in Clinton for three hours each weekday morning and will also participate in afternoon programs that include outdoor and cultural activities. Families arc needed to host seven teenages between the ages of 16 and 18 this summer. They are expected to provide a safe, comfort- able home environment, a regular family ex- perience, meals and assistance with tranporta- tion between classes and activities. The Webbers anticipate their time with Eva will be short because of the time spent in classes but they hope to show her much of Huron County, the lakeshore and plan to visit the Zurich Bean Festival in August. As a group the students will take part in a week- end trip to Niagara Falls and Toronto. Although Eva is from a rural area, she is an only child and being part of a larger family will be a new experience. Anyone interested in hosting a student or receiving more informatiot can contact Joanne Rainmaker at 482-9948. "We thought we could learn about her country and her culture."
