Rose Kennedy AllSunAWARE on Boston Harbor Islands

CMPF has partnered with the Dept. of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), Boston Harbor Now, and the National Park Service in creating our Boston Harbor Island’s SunAWARE Project. This program includes training of permanent and seasonal staff, and six on-site educational programs for visitors providing educational material and sunscreen. In addition, we trained Discovery Camp Administrators and provided resources, free-of-charge, for their counselors to use on the Islands. Perkins School for the Blind also partnered with us by providing two Summer Interns who provided information and sunscreen to visitors daily for six weeks. All of these partners allowed us to reach thousands of staff, campers, and visitors to the Boston Harbor Islands.

There are four academic levels: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 with lesson plans, evaluation tools, and additional resources. We prevent skin cancer one child at a time by providing our curriculum and resources at no charge. The SunAWARE curriculum is easily replicated and adapted with clear goals and objectives, as well as lesson sequence, supporting material, special needs adaptations, extensions, co-curricular links, teacher resources, and evaluation materials.
