BHCCRC.
The Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center was born out of tragedy in 1949 when a fire killed two children in a local migrant camp while their parents were working the fields. Located on the Sag Harbor Turnpike, the BHCCRC is a not for profit 501(c)3 that provides a wide variety of academic, recreational and extracurricular after-school activities for children of low income families from the surrounding community.
The BHCCRC also offers a low cost, eight week summer program for 80 kids aged 5-12. In the past, tennis was taught at a nearby park, on standard sized 78′ courts. Bringing Youth Tennis to the BHCCRC not only makes it unnecessary for the program’s youngest children to be bussed off premises with the older kids, but also it allows them to learn on a court and with equipment that is sized appropriately for them.
The center’s Executive Director, Bonnie Michelle Cannon, and Board of Directors have been enthusiastic supporters of this project.
