Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis, said Darcy Belyea, Director, Glen Cove Parks & Recreation.

“From our Pee Wee camper program for four and five year olds and our Crazy 8’s travel camp for boys and girls entering the 8th grade to our very special camp offering for differently-abled children, our program offers something for every child.”
