Salvation Army.
e camp takes place annually and can
usually hold 45 to 50 kids but will host only
22 this year due to COVID-19 restrictions.

time $15 registration fee, and will have a
rolling registration all summer so partici-
pants can join anytime. Camp will be held
during the day from 7:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.
"is year is an Olympic theme so we will
have many friendly and fun competitions
mimicking the Summer Olympic Games,"

field trips, movie days and computer time.
We incorporate education in a fun way as
well by hosting a reading competition and
academic games."
e camps will be led by their Community
Center Director Donya Campbell along with

"We also will have different businesses,
churches and community groups come
spend time with the kids," she said. "ey
