With the start of the school year just around the corner, there are just a few opportunities left to cool off at Public Swim at the Town Pool. We want to say THANK YOU to our team of lifeguards for covering so many shifts over the past eight weeks— we really appreciate it!

Another season of MDI Community Soccer hits the field beginning Tuesday, September 6th. This organizational practice will get underway right after school on the MDES field and is open to all players in grades K-5. A copy of the registration form is available here.

The new school year is almost upon us, and at The Neighborhood House that means we’re busy gearing up for another year of the After School Youth Club. This flexible drop-in program is available every Monday thru Thursday from 3-5pm. While purposely not intended to serve as “child care,” the program does offer supervised activities each afternoon for children in Kindergarten ad up.

What began as a silly excuse to gather together to enjoy some ice cream sundaes in 2000 has turned into an annual tradition that only grows stronger by the year. The Twenty-Second Annual Bike Parade & Ice Cream Social is scheduled for Thursday, July 28.

Summer is officially here and we're looking forward to all sorts of fun events and activities, including teaming up with our friends from the NEH Library to welcome a performance of The Petra & Mo Show to Northeast Harbor!

With just over one week left until the return of the Bash at the Boatyard and tickets nearly sold out, we’d like to highlight one of the unique additions to the event which has quickly become a hit— the Wine Pull. “What exactly is a Wine Pull?” you might ask. Luckily it’s easy to explain and a whole lot of fun to take part in.

After two years away thanks to the pandemic, there were many folks— both year ‘round and seasonal— looking forward to the return of traditional Memorial Day festivities for 2022. Not only did the festivities return, but they went off without a hitch and were enjoyed by a sizeable crowd.

As most of you know, the CDC currently classifies Hancock County as having a “High” level of Covid-19 (up from “Low” the prior week). When the CDC implemented their new metrics and rating system in early March, The Neighborhood House adopted the policy of masking being optional except during times of a High classification.

Come join us this summer - Divine Play Yoga will light up your life, will transform you into a beacon of joy. So get ready - I look forward to meeting you again in the Great Hall this summer.

Come celebrate the unofficial kickoff to the summer season at The Neighborhood House Community Cookout on Memorial Day, May 30! The grills will get going just after the parade down Main Street and ceremonies at the NEH Marina. Our volunteer “grill-masters” will be serving up classic hot dogs and burgers (vegetarian option available too) along with chips, a drink and dessert. Veterans are invited to enjoy lunch on the house and all others are just a $5 suggested donation

We are ecstatic that our traditional five day per week (9am-4pm) day camp programs will be returning for the summer of 2022! The last couple of summers have allowed us to try some new things and offer popular programs and workshops for children, but we’ve really been looking forward to returning to some sort of “normal” (and a whole lot of fun).

n person Yoga with Richard Parker will resume on Sunday, March 13 from 8-9 now that the CDC has lifted the indoor recommendation for masking. His Thursday morning class will continue on Zoom, as it has since December. This class will return to in person status later in the spring. Please sign up on line for the Sunday class here. All proceeds from Richard’s classes go directly to support The Neighborhood House!

If you prefer to continue participating via Zoom, please email Richard for the link.
