Junior Volunteer Summer Camp

The Junior Volunteer Summer Camp

has been off to a great start!

Kids at KMI enjoyed a Science

themed-week that ended with a big party and

water fight with the residents!! The kids have

been playing games and taking part in

one-on-one visits with the residents and there

is more to follow including Time Travel,

Nature and Space.

Kids at KWCC have enjoyed various themed-weeks including Pirate, Hawaiian,

Science & Circus. The kids have participated in fun activities with the residents

including building volcanoes, a pirate sing along with David Goss; hosting a

carnival, science experiments with the Lil’ Shop of Science, playing games.

This new program is proving to be a fun and beneficial experience

for both our residents and the children in both homes. Some children

and their parents have already expressed interest in becoming

volunteers after their experience at Junior Volunteer Summer Camp!

Space is still available for the remaining weeks at KMI for more information

Pam Morton’s Retirement

Pam Morton retired after over 30 years of service at Kennebec Manor. She wore various hats during her time here...LPN, activities and clerical. Pam gave her best to the various positions and is now going to put her feet up and let Bruce wait on her at home and enjoy visits from their son, Chris.

Zelda’s River Adventures

It is always wonderful to get out and enjoy nature in our surrounding area. Recently, our residents enjoyed a beautiful day on the Kennebecasis River thanks to Zelda’s River Adventures. Not only did the residents have fun but they also enjoyed a little fishing. Keith Thompson didn’t have to tell any “fish tales”...he had pictures to prove it!!!

COMMUNITY EVENTS CHRONICLE AUGUST 2014

The Valley Cruisers were at Kennebec Manor again this year for a much appreciated visit. The antique vehicles bring back some fond memories!!

*********************************************************************************

Some of the other activities our residents enjoyed during July were bowling, bus

trips to St. Martins, the Pumpkin Patch, Rockwood Park, Dairy Queen and the

Cherry Brook Zoo.
