It's only a few more weeks until summer arrives and that means the start of Summer Day Camp at Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center!
This summer, over 130 campers will participate in summer day camp activities--they'll learn theatre/drama techniques (and then produce their very own Variety Show), visit local colleges and universities, learn culinary skills from real chefs, go swimming, build their own flying machines, participate in the library's summer reading program, and build strong friendships with other campers and counselors who truly care about their lives. Many of the youth who attend Summer Day Camp face difficult challenges--they come from a neighborhood where unemployment, under-education, and poverty are very real. Summer Day Camp is an opportunity for youth expand their horizons and become true LEADERS in their community.
It's going to be an exciting adventure--and you can be part of the fun too! Each week, this blog will be updated with excepts from the journals of our campers. Be sure to check back often!
