East Side West Side Youth Summer Day Camp Sees Record-Setting Attendance
Wellspring Youth Summer Day Camp averaged 321 attendees its first week and expects to have another record-setting year. Last year’s daily average attendance for the seven-week camp period was 243. The camp has a waiting list of over 50 and we will be integrating those kids into the various age groups as we determine room for additions. To handle the increase in participation Wellspring hired three additional staff members and contracted for a 3rd yellow school bus for pick-up and return of campers.
The Summer Day Camp is offered at no cost to attendees.
Since mid-April Wellspring has been offering a new program aimed primarily at those individuals who access our Food Bank. On every Tuesday we are providing lunch followed by the opportunity for an activity. The new initiative is in response to the isolation, both physically and socially, that is in part of the lives of those individuals who we see through the Food Bank.
