On Friday, August 8th youth and teens from 10 youth groups from Boston’s neighborhoods and surrounding communities took part in Save the Harbor/Save the Bay’s 4th Annual Beach Bash and Splash at the BCYF Curley Recreation Center at M Street Beach in South Boston, including: BCYF Curley Community Center – South Boston, Braintree After School Enrichment – Braintree, Castle Square Youth Education Program – South End, Curtis Hall Community Center – Jamaica Plain, East Boston YMCA – East Boston, Greenwood Shalom – Dorchester, Home for Little Wanderers – Boston, Jackson Mann Summer Program – Brighton, South Boston Boys and Girls Club – South Boston, Tynan Fun in the Sun – South Boston.
Over the course of the day, youth and teens engaged in healthy outdoor activities, including swimming, fishing, Frisbee and sports, and enjoyed learning about crabs and lobsters caught and released at the beach. Save the Harbor’s summer artist in residence, Sam Schreiber, helped youth create some spectacular murals and art on the shore.
It was a perfect day for a beach party. Temperatures in the 80s, clear skies, clean water, 1,200 hot dogs, 1,000 bottles of water, and 752 Boston area youth and teens added up to a beautiful day of fun in the sun for everyone. “It’s great to see so many kids from across the city on the beach and in the water,” said Save the Harbor’s Director of Strategy, Communications and Programs. “What a great way to celebrate the success of the Boston Harbor Clean-up, which has made these beaches among the cleanest urban beaches in America and among the most popular beaches in the region.”
Family members joined Dorchester resident Barbara Nascimento to celebrate her 100th birthday at a celebration at the Upham’s Corner Health Center organized by Commonwealth Care Alliance.
