How do the other nearby communities continue to offer this program?  As a parent, I would be willing to pay more.  This program has been around for decades from what I understand.  If there are extreme behavioral problems, remove those children from the program.  Problem solved.  The Park's program helps kids appreciate our beautiful park and nature.  It helps out our working parents by offering a program that allows kids to strengthen peer relationships, have fun, excercise, learn to swim, and, teach all the social skills that go along with learning to get along with others.  Kids don't get much recess at school anymore and overall, don't play outside like years ago.  Perhaps, limit the age group if needed.  Another idea would be to offer a survey to the parents or kids about more structured programs.  My child attended the last few years and I have not head about anyone either asking, or, complaining about structured programs.  I believe children who attend the program are more willing to give back and respect their community when they are older.  Do the right thing Emmaus!
