2009 Summer of Fun Events 

	At Easter Seals South Florida, a visit from Ooopsy makes everybody happy! Like Easter Seals South Florida, Ooopsy, The Clown is a South Florida Favorite. With her bright, rainbow-colored costume, neon orange hair, and trunk full of tricks, songs, and fuzzy friends, she enters a room full of chatty children and tired toddlers, who, upon first glimpse, don’t quite know what to expect.  Read more
	The Rainforest Comes to Easter Seals! The Jungle Outreach educational program brought to us by Miami’s Jungle Island provided our Summer of  Fun attendees an up-close and personal experience with a variety of different rainforest animals. Read more
	Easter Seals on the Water Jeremiah Cadet, an Edison Park Elementary second grader, cannot hide his excitement at being out on Biscayne Bay on a sunny winter’s afternoon. The trip is the culmination of cycle one of Easter Seals South Florida’s “Swim with the Seals” program for the 2009-10 school year. Throughout this year 60 elementary school children will have the chance to learn swimming and water safety techniques thanks to a program funded by The Children’s Trust. Students initially learn basic swimming techniques over a 10 week period. The swim sessions, led by certified instructors, are held at the newly re-furbished indoor pool facility located at the Easter Seals’ Miami location. Successful students are then rewarded with a water based field trip. On 9th of September 12 excited Edison Park students were able to spend time out on the water, some for the first time. The Students spent time cruising Biscayne Bay and visiting a barrier island along the way. The field trip is made possible through our partnership with The Coconut Grove Sailing Club.
