The Manchester Township School District's Extended School Year (ESY) program continues with some fun and educational field trips throughout the summer session. Recently, students visited the RWJ Barnabas Field of Dreams Complex in Toms River which is a sports complex created for inclusive participation. Students enjoyed the playground which included many different options for swinging, sliding, dancing, and jumping! They also liked the baseball field and the opportunity to play mini golf and football.
The ESY program selected the Field of Dreams to give students the opportunity to play on equipment that was designed for all ability levels and to give them the opportunity to try out different sports. Attending the park allows our students to improve their play skills while practicing following directions in the community. Community-based instruction is part of the ESY curriculum for all students.
