Teenagers — are you up to the challenge of being a counselor? In addition to all of the summer camp activities, teens have the chance to develop leadership skills through training, and then use those skills at camp.

Summer fun isn’t just for kids. The Rec Department is having a summer camp session for adults too. Look for a summer workshop after the summer camp sessions. The adult workshop will focus on topics such as agriculture, fitness and wellness and finance.

The Rec Department is seeking volunteers for programming, including the summer Day camp, Adult League basketball and Adult Softball. Volunteers are essential as they help make connections throughout the community and allow the Recreation Department to facilitate more events for leisure, enrichment and physical wellness.
