Our Relatives as Parents Program (RAPP) is proud to announce the first annual Respite Holiday on Sunday, December 20, from 12:00pm to 4:00pm at the CCEUC Education Center located at10 Westbrook Lane in Kingston.
We are offering this FREE event to any person who is raising a relative’s child in Ulster County. Go shopping or go home and take a well deserved nap knowing your child will be in good hands.
RAPP staff will be conducting therapeutic play activities, games, and arts & crafts throughout the day. We will also be introducing theatre arts to the children in preparation for a play called “What’s Your Story?” that we are organizing for the children to perform for their relative caregivers next year.
Lunch and a healthy snack will be provided to the children. Relatives are welcome to join but are not required. Pre-registration is required no later than Wednesday December, 15 and limited to the first 15 children. Please call Barbara Grumberg at 845-340-3990 to pre-register.
For more information on “Living and Re-learning” (formerly known as the RAPP Support Group for caregivers and the RAPP Kidz Club) please call Danielle Garris, RAPP Program Coordinator, at 845-340-3990. These groups meet in New Paltz on the first Monday of every month or in Kingston on the first Saturday of every month.
RAPP is funded by Cornell Cooperative Extension Orange County through a grant from the NYS Office of Children and Family Services, The Brookdale Foundation, and The Dyson Foundation.
