NBSU Wraps Step Up Program With Ice Cream and Games

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff

Many of the children, and a few adults, were sporting painted faces. 
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — Northern Berkshire School Union wrapped up its summer camp last Thursday with what's becoming an annual event: a school community night at Clarksburg School. 
 
That meant a bounce house, music, dunk tank and lots and lots of activities — plus ice cream and hot dogs for dinner. 
 
"Oh, it's fantastic. They do a really good job," said one Monroe parent as her daughter waited for a balloon animal. 
 
The five-week summer camp program is open to children in the school districts of Clarksburg, Florida, Monroe, Rowe and Savoy. 
 
The program is funded through a grant from the United Way Summer Step Up Program, through the United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley with the support of Northern Berkshire United Way.
 
"I love this event because it brings our community partners together. It showcases all the things that we do during the summer camp. Jordan [Rennell] puts together a great program for all of our kids in our four schools," said Assistant Superintendent Tara Barnes. "And this is an extension of that where we are able to bring in our community partners and our families into one venue and really do this for the kids. 
 
"Which, as you can see, are having a blast. Parents are having fun, too."
