Another Great Year For Island Trees Music And Sport Camps

The Island Trees School District would like to thank Kevin Regan and the Levittown Youth Council for supporting the Island Trees Summer Camp programs. Both the music and sports programs had another successful year providing our children the opportunity to participate, learn and have fun. All programs are instructed and supervised by Island Trees coaches, teachers, alumni and high school students. 

The camps provided a variety of sessions to pick from. When all was said and done, there were close to 500 registered campers, which generated a profit of close to $5,000, all donated to Island Trees School District.
