ALEOOOP summer program is a non-profit, community-based program offered to all Allendale children entering kindergarten through 8th grade. Each day your child is involved in exciting age-appropriate activities, including Friday ‘theme’ days.
Who runs the ALEOOOP Summer Program?
ALEOOOP is managed by a volunteer board consisting of Allendale parents. The ALEOOOP summer program is administered by co-directors, Jenn Lederman and Joe Kiely from Northern Highlands. And our Musical Theater program is produced and directed by Brookside’s very own Kelsey Snedeker. All special activities are taught by certified staff teachers who share their experience and creativity with your child. ALEOOOP is incredibly proud to employ this group of teachers from inside our district and the surrounding area.

I’m concerned with my child walking to Crestwood Lake.
What safeguards are in place to ensure my child’s safety?
All counselors are required to participate in a safety class with the Allendale Police Department, and the safest route is mapped out by the officers. While at the lake, your child can participate their group swim (limited areas for kindergarten) or can have fun playing on the beach! Certified lifeguards, ALEOOOP senior staff members, in addition to the group counselors are on hand to supervise the children.
What happens if my child gets sick, or requires medical attention at summer ALEOOOP?
ALEOOOP employs a nurse that is on duty everyday onsite. A medical form must be completed, signed by your pediatrician, and submitted with any medications necessary during ALEOOOP (i.e. epi-pen). In the event of a true medical emergency, 911 will be called and the emergency contacts you provide will be called. ALEOOOP follows all current Allendale BOE policies regarding Covid19.
Have a great summer at ALEOOOP
