_—
a good time on the Wyoming
Seminary upper school campus
this summer, thanks to the
Luzerne County Association for
Retarded Citizens, which is
sponsoring a day camp for boys
and girls, aged five—21.
Since July 1, from 9:30 a.m.—
3:30 p.m., Monday—Friday, a
dedicated team of counselors
and volunteers have made use
of seminary’s gymnasium,
swimming, pool, hockey field
and Ne) Hall to entertain
and develp some 75 campers.
The program will continue
through August 2.
Enrollment in the program
increases from day to day,
according to Bob Kotsull,
executive director of the coun-
ty’s Association for Retarded
Citizens. Campers come from
numerous Luzerne and Wyom-
ing County municipalities.
The youngsters are especially
thrilled with the swim program.
“For many this is their first
opportunity to swim. . .They
love it,” said Phil Adonizio,
camp director. “For this type of
child, seminary is almost per-
fect as a facility. . .what they
have and what they've made
available to us is about per-
fect,” he added.
The campers are broken
down into six groups. Each
group swims for approximately
45 minutes. Two certified life-
guards and two to four coun-
selors supervise the swim
activity.
One volunteer is a big help in
the area of swim activity, Mr.
Adonizio points out. He is
Wyoming Seminary student
Richard Harris.
Mr. Harris, the son of Mr. and
ston, will be a sophomore at the
Kingston prep school in Sep-
tember.
“He's very good with the
kids,” according to Mr. Adoni-
zio. The camp director de-
scribes Richard’s contribution
as ‘“‘a big help where we need
the help. . .in swimming. Rich
assists the campers to prepare
for swimming.”
The seminary gymnasium,
which houses the popular pool,
is also used on rainy days for
physical education and dance
activity. Praising the facilities
available to the summer pro-
gram, in its first year at Wyom-
ing Seminary, director Adonizio

noted that the use of the gym-
nasium’s PA system on rainy
days is ‘‘beautiful.” Campers
enjoy dancing and marching to
recordings.
The school’s hockey field is
utilized, on pleasant days, for
physical education games, song
sings and arts and crafts
sessions. Campers express
themselves through water color
and finger paintings, coke can
and paper sculptings, and hot
pad weaving.
Arts and crafts move into
Seminary’s Nesbitt Hall during
inclement weather. One coun-
selor has built a portable stage
in the hall, which is planned to
be used for the presentation of a
play or skits, during the pro-
gram’s Open House, scheduled
for the end of July or the begin-
ning of August.
Nesbitt Hall is also the site of
movie showings, daily opening
exercises and lunch. Children
bring their lunch, and are pro-
vided with a beverage.
Mr. Adonizio, in his first year
as director of the annual pro-
gram, reports that this year’s
session has included more
activity than in the past. That
activity is directed by 12 coun-
selors (who are special educa-
tion teachers, elementary
school instructors and college
students during the school
year), plus volunteers, two life-
guards and a full-time reg-
istered nurse.
Mr. Adonizio is the head
teacher of special education at
the Jefferson School, Pittston.
Assistant director Marita Mike
is a teacher of special education
in St. Roceco’s School, Pittston.
LuzARC executive ' director
Kotsull hopes that next year’s
program can be made even
fuller, by running it for a longer
period. He also hopes that they
will again be at seminary,
which he describes as an
“absolutely excellent facility.”
