What is Camp Susquehanna?

Camp Susquehanna is a program of the Burn Prevention Network that offers year-round online activities and a 4-day, sleep-away experience for youths ages 7-21 who have had a serious burn injury. It is an opportunity for children to have fun, learn life skills, meet other burn survivors, and process the trauma of their injury in a supportive environment. Although Camp Susquehanna’s campers are of varying ages, activities and groups are geared towards each camper’s developmental needs.

5K will begin at the Old Forge High School's Veterans Memorial Stadium, move through mostly residential areas, and end a block away from the Famous Revello's Pizza. Walking route begins and ends with the 5k route!

After the race; participants are encouraged to join us for a cut, meet our fire fighters, and cheer for our winners during the awards ceremony!

Prizes will be awarded to the 1st and 2nd place male and female runners in 10 year categories. Additional prizes for the top two first responder finishers!

Moosic Borough is thrilled to announce the second annual Move with Moosic 5k Run/Walk is scheduled for June 7, 2026 with a 9AM start time. The race will begin at the Moosic Youth Center, wind down Main Street and Minooka Avenue to Felter Field, pass by the Moosic High Alumni Memorial and Edmond Piaski Park on Elm Street, travel up Spring Street to Mary Ann Nawrocki Park, and loop back around to end with a celebration back at the Moosic Youth Center. New this year we have added a 1/4 mile kids fun run. Children ages 10 and under are welcomed to sign up for this free event which will follow the 5k.

This years event will kick off the summer in our community and all proceeds will be used to reimagine and rejuvenate our green spaces in Moosic Borough. Last year, our community came together and raised an extraordinary $45,000—and those dollars have already made a visible, lasting impact across our parks and green spaces. As we prioritize public safety, maintaining and updating our infrastructure, and ensuring our roads are clear and our garbage is picked up, the Move with Moosic 5K Run/Walk serves as a reminder to take care of our parks too.

Because of your support, more than $30,000 will be invested this April to update Edmond Piaski Park, breathing new life into a small but treasured neighborhood space in our community. We also resurfaced the basketball court at Smerdon Park, with hoop rehabilitation planned for this spring. At the Moosic Youth Center, we replaced the aging side door to improve safety and accessibility. Funds raised through the 5K also allowed us to purchase mulch for the Moosic Red Wings playground and upgrade the security cameras at Mercatili Segilia Park, strengthening safety for all who visit. In addition, through Bank of America employee volunteer grants, we supported the Moosic Little League in rehabilitating their picnic tables. These improvements are only the beginning. We are meeting with our grant‐writing partners and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) to pursue a comprehensive park planning grant. Funds raised in 2026 will directly support this effort and help meet

any required matching contributions—positioning Moosic to secure significant outside funding for long‐term park revitalization.

We are blessed with numerous recreational spaces for both our residents and beyond to enjoy. Some are updated and well-loved, while others desperately need our help. By participating in our 5k as a runner, walker, sponsor, or volunteer, you will have a positive impact on our hometown. And we would be so grateful for your support in whatever capacity you are able to give back.
