Summer Rising 2024

Summer Rising 2024


This summer we served more than 300 children in our summer camp programs funded by NYC Department of Community Development. Our @NYCYouth campers from PS 36 and PS 153 showcased their talents with unforgettable performances—singing, dancing, skits, and playing instruments that brought joy to all. 🌟 Our campers enjoyed trips to museums, the zoo, FDR park, and amusement parks, as well as pizza and Icee parties. Our dedicated Harlem Dowling staff and SYEP workers made this summer camp experience exceptional. We couldn’t have done it without their passion and hard work.



 




The 2024 Olympics kicked off, and we had our own incredible Student Olympics at P.S. 161! Our youngest champs (K-4th grade)
faced off in tug-of-war, hula-hoop challenges, and sack relays. Our older students took the court for basketball, volleyball, and kickball.
It was an epic day of games, laughter, and community vibes with all the community based organizations in the building (NY EDGE, Aspira, and Harlem Dowling) getting involved.
