The Shoreham-Wading River School District’s Roundout program is once again a place for friendships, socialization and camaraderie for community students. The popular, annual summer recreation program features a wide range of activities, including general recreation, games, outdoor adventures, teambuilding and creating artistic masterpieces, including colorful, tie-dyed T-shirts, in Miller Avenue School’s art room. Additionally, the students take part in several different theme days.

The sessions take place for three morning hours from mid-July through mid-August, and students enter the building ready to embrace that day’s activities. They participate in activities designed to build fine and gross motor skills and learn the importance of working together with others as part of a team. The program also allows students to socialize, play with and get to know students they will attend school with in September.

Much of the organized play is provided by the student volunteers, who attended the summer program as campers and enjoyed it so much they came back to share the fun with the younger students.
