National Recreation and Park Association (nrpa.org), which strives to advance parks, recreation and environmental conservation that enhance the
quality of life for all people. To “celebrate” locally, the Recreation Services
Department has put together many new and exciting programs and an
offering of 38 different summer camps for area youth. Our goal is to touch
the lives of everyone in the community and for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the many benefits of parks and recreation.
Whether your interest to participate in a recreation program is for developing a skill, making new friends, staying active and healthy, or taking
care of that competitive drive, this recreation guide covers a wide variety
of programs and classes just for you. As you turn these pages you will see
an incredible number of offerings that can be enjoyed by all members of
the community and your family. Happy summer!

Summer Tennis Camp
Summer 2014 The Frank Stark Ride has been a tradition for the last 24 years. It
features a scenic ride along the Atlantic coast as well as a beautiful tour through beautiful Boca Raton. There will be plenty of well
stocked rest stops along the way and full Sag Support during the
ride. Rest stops will have themes that will bring smiles to those that
partake. The post-ride meal will hit the spot after the ride and there
will be an additional treat.
The Boca Raton Bicycle Club is a 501(c)3 not for profit club. Proceeds from this unique ride benefit bicycle advocacy groups on a
local, state and national level. The Boca Raton Bicycle Club has a
number of ongoing programs to teach bicycle and helmet safety
to elementary students, police escorted Tour of Boca, bike rides to
promote bike handling and safety on the open road, and the Bicycles for Kids program which provides free bikes/helmets, lock and
chain to needy students with financial need and good citizenship.

A little information about Frank Stark
The ride started in the late 1980s as a birthday celebration for
Frank Stark, a former Marine and pilot who had experienced
quadruple bypass surgery and bicycled as a way to get back in
shape. In its early years, participants rode with Stark a mile for
each year of his age.
He died in 1999 at age 70, suffering a heart attack while bicycling.
He lived in Deerfield Beach, Margate and Lake Worth

DID YOU KNOW?
The most common places for
daytime auto burglaries are
beaches, parks, gyms, and daycare.
Here are a few reminders
• Always lock your vehicle and roll
up the windows, no matter how
long you will be away.
• Limit what you bring to our
beaches & parks; an empty vehicle
deters thieves.
• Don’t leave purses, wallets,
electronics, money, sunglasses,
diaper bags, gym bags, or keys in
your vehicle.
• Please watch out for subjects
who loiter, appear to be lifting
door handles or are looking into
windows. Report these people
immediately to police by calling
561-368-6201, 911, or alert a
nearby park ranger.
• Thieves are always watching!
Placing your
belongings in the
trunk or under
your seat does not
safeguard them.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This 20 acre coastal preserve is a destination you don’t want to miss! Gumbo
Limbo Nature Center is surrounded by a rare remnant of tropical hardwood
hammock, located on a barrier island in Boca Raton. A boardwalk provides access to this rare tropical forest where, from the 40-foot observation tower, you
can view gumbo limbo trees, migrating birds, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Intracoastal Waterway. Indian middens, shell piles left by the Glades Indians over
2000 years ago, are located within the hammock. Take a stroll through the butterfly garden, where many species of wild butterflies can be seen year-round.
Walk the Ashley Trail and relax in the authentic Chiki overlooking the Intracoastal. A variety of native fish, sharks, and other marine animals reside in the
outdoor sea tanks. Visit the Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Facility to learn about our
sea turtle patients. Indoor displays feature wildlife indigenous to South Florida
and a series of stained glass windows depicting the coastal island as it may have
appeared in the 1500s. Florida Atlantic University has an onsite marine biology
laboratory with a gallery for viewing research projects conducted by university
scientists. Purchase imaginative and environmentally friendly gifts from the
nature-themed gift shop.

TURTLE WALK & HATCHLING RELEASE PROGRAMS
& TICKETS SALES INFORMATION
Did you know that last year we had RECORD HIGH sea turtle nesting in
Boca Raton? This equated to a nesting loggerhead turtle being seen during 75% of our TURTLE WALK PROGRAMS! Our Turtle Walk Programs include an ecology walk on the beach, so even if we aren’t able to see a
nesting turtle, we do enjoy an evening walk on the beach.
While we can’t guarantee you will see a turtle on a Turtle Walk, you will see
baby sea turtles scramble into the ocean during our HATCHLING RELEASE
PROGRAM. Did you know Gumbo Limbo Nature Center is one of only
three facilities in Florida permitted to conduct public Hatchling Release
Programs?
Both of these popular programs begin with a fun educational program
in Gumbo Limbo’s classroom. We then go to the beach: for Turtle Walks,
enjoy an ecology walk and if we are lucky, encounter a nesting loggerhead
sea turtle; during Hatchling Releases, marvel as you watch baby sea turtles
scurry into the surf. Please note these are hands-off programs; per our
Marine Turtle Permit, only the individuals listed are permitted to touch the
sea turtles.
Tickets must be purchased in advance for both of these programs and
tickets sell out. No tickets are sold at the door. General Public Tickets are
$17 each. Existing Members of Friends of Gumbo Limbo may purchase
a specific number of tickets (based on Membership Level) for $10 each.
Please be aware that it is not guaranteed that you will see a nesting
turtle during your program. There is no compensation provided if a
nesting sea turtle is not seen during your program.

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
Sea Bathers Eruption (Sea Lice)
What is it? Ocean bathers report red welts and blotches, which
are concentrated under the swimsuit and other parts of the
body after swimming in the ocean. Itching and redness usually
occur several hours after ocean bathing. Some experience a
slight “prickling” sensation while they are in the water. This occurs mostly from April to July.
Symptoms: Itching -- usually lasts 2-4 days, but it can last as
long as 2 weeks. Some people have more severe reactions,
including headache, fever, nausea and infected blisters. Children
may develop high fever.
Prevention: Make sure you change out of your bathing suit
before showering. This may reduce your risk for sea bather’s
eruption by half.
Treatment: An oral antihistamine may help to relieve the itching. Also, an over-the-counter topical 1% cortisone cream or
sting aid may be helpful. With severe reactions or complications,
call your physician immediately. For more information, call (561)
