Pickering Grove Park is our smallest park. It is the location for Miss Betty's Day Camps.

 

From their website:

Miss Betty Stonorov attended Bryn Mawr College, the New School for Social Research and the Bank Street College of Education. She also studied with Dr. Albert Barns. Her passion was bringing adults together to meet the needs of children.

 

Miss Betty started Charlestown Day Camp in 1949. The Camp was originally located on her personal property in Charlestown Township. In 2004, the camp was moved to it's current location.
