Board of Commissioners

Steppingstone Waterside Theatre, family events, to name a few. Steppingstone's outstanding
sailing program introduces youngsters to boating in away that is fun and rewarding. New

waterfront also offers classes for adults, dinner cruises to City Island and kayak tours. Families
can enjoy our Programs in the Parks events or our state-of-the-art Parkwood Family Aquatic
Center. Our extraordinary Camp Parkwood, introduces two new programs: a new junior travel
program for older campers and optional bus transportation. Visit our website at
