The “Rats” work in the concession stand at the Rec during the six-week summer program, providing food to the Rec facility’s members. These kids learn how to use a cash register, work with the Health Department, handle the public, pay themselves a small hourly wage, and basically run a small business under the supervision of an adult. A very worthwhile endeavor!! To volunteer or for more information, please call Evelyn Seipp at 845 868-7113.

It begins with practices in late August and finishes the first week of November with a tournament for all teams. Any age appropriate child may join either summer or fall soccer or both – no tryouts involved! You must sign up for fall soccer at one of the summer program registration dates. Adult volunteers are greatly needed for this program. Please contact Sue Blouse at (845) 266-5933. Frankenstein’s Fortress This unique program, run by the Town of Stanford Rec Commission, raises funds for capital improvements to the Rec facility and provides much enjoyment to all participants. The Fortress is a grouping of trails and structures, located at the Town’s Highway Department, which takes on different themes each October under the direction of Peter Wing, a local artist and “fright master”. This year is our thirteenth year of adults and children volunteering their time to act, create scenes, assist in applying make-up or handing out costumes, help at the snack table and any other tasks that make this haunted house the success that it is! Frankenstein’s Fortress is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night in October. For more information contact the Rec office at (845) 868-7782.
