As temperatures rose, the Haverford College campus became a summer playground for local children.
Children ages six to thirteen joined members of the Haverford College community for Serendipity Day Camp, a program established in 1963 by representatives of the college and the Ardmore community.
About 180 children played and laughed throughout the seven-week camp which included swimming, arts and crafts and sports as well as trips to the zoo, nature center, children's theater, Brandywine Picnic Park and Clementon Amusement Park.
Staffed mostly by Haverford students, including co-directors Matt Benedict'99 and Alex Wood'99, Serendipity provided an opportunity for the college to interact with area youths and celebrate the summer with the local community.
