Summer Teen Enrichment Program (STEP)
The Summer Teen Enrichment Program has been cancelled for 2021.
The health, safety and well being of the community, visitors and staff are very important to Cheltenham Township. For this reason, the Township is taking all possible precautions to protect the community. During this difficult period for so many, both locally and around the world, the Township appreciates your understanding and help in protecting the community from the spread of this virus.
The Cheltenham Township Parks and Recreation Department has been working to provide virtual programs and other activities where social distancing can be maintained. Please check the Parks & Recreation Department webpage for frequent updates.
As the weather warms up and summer begins, please remember that Cheltenham has many wonderful open spaces to spread out and enjoy. But please remember to maintain appropriate social distancing and wearing a mask to protect yourself and others.
Is your teen(s) bored during the summer without anything to do? Well, NOT ANY MORE!!!
