Good morning York City Family! To our Summer Parks Program families: today is a swim day and yes, this rain isn't stopping us from having our fun! We will still be going to Codorus State Park Pool today as planned. Parents, it is your choice if you would like to still send your campers to camp today or keep them home due to the weather. We are making today an optional day. For those who are still joining us this morning, we will see you all at Farquhar Park for our meeting location! See you all soon!

Good Evening York City Families! I apologize for the technical difficulties with the sound we experienced with our Summer Movie showing of "GOAT" at Kiwanis Lake. It is something we will make sure we improve for the next movie. We will plan to show the movie GOAT again this month to make up for tonight. Thank you to the families who still stuck around to still enjoy the movie and enjoy the night with us! We will definitely make it up to you all! Stay tuned for the updated day and time coming soon!
