ARBOR DAY POSTER CONTEST
As part of the celebration of APG being designated as a "Tree City" by the National Arbor Day Foundation, the Aberdeen Youth Center will sponsor an Arbor Day Poster Contest. We are opening up this event to all youth in grades K-12. We will judge the poster by appropriate grade level groupings. For instance, k-1, 2-3, 4-5,6-8, and 9-12.
Any medium (watercolor, colored pencil, markers, paint, etc) will be accepted for judging. We ask that all work be on a 18 X 24, white poster board.
The theme for the contest is "A Tree Breathes Life". Entries should be submitted to the Aberdeen Youth Center by April 21. Winners will be announced that week and invited to participate in the Installation Commander's Tree planting ceremony on April 29. Winners will be awarded a Commander's Coin and quite possibly donated prizes.
POC for this event is Karen Johnson or Penny Branham at the AA Youth Center, Bldg 2522, Bayside Drive, 410-278-9059/410-278-4995.

Welcome to Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG)
Child and Youth Services (CYS)! Whether you
and your family are stationed at the Aberdeen
Area (AA) or at the Edgewood Area (EA), we
offer your child and the children of DoD
civilian sponsors, retirees or contractors a
comprehensive set of programs to assist you
with your child care needs.
We are pleased that you and your child
will be participating in our programs. The
purpose of these web pages are to briefly
explain our programs and policies. Please
bookmark the appropriate pages for your
reference. We welcome your comments and
suggestions and solicit your cooperation and
support. You can contact Child and Youth Services at

Mission
The mission of CYS is to promote readiness by
reducing conflict between parental
responsibilities and unit missions. We offer
care for children from four weeks to teens in
full-day, part-day, hourly, before and after
school and sports activities. Our goal is to
assist your child by promoting his
intellectual growth, physical ability and
social skills.
Philosophy
The staff of APG CYS recognizes that quality
child programs are a vital need. We offer
children varied opportunities to develop
physically, socially, emotionally,
aesthetically, intellectually and
independently. All staff members are trained
to facilitate, support, guide and function as
role models to children of all ages on their
journey to adulthood.
