A modified version of summer camp at the Boys & Girls Club started up Monday, offering a chance to safely get kids out of the house with crafts, games, and masks.
The six-week onsite summer camp for children ages 5 to 14 is taking place at the club’s Columbus Avenue home. About 60 summer campers will participate through Aug. 14.
The club staff returned after a deep cleaning of the building to reorganize three weeks ago. The campers are split by age groups into five pods of ten kids each. Each pod is facilitated by two staff members. The campers will remain in their designated group of ten for the entire summer camp to minimize their contact with others.
Before eating lunch the kids played board games like Connect 4 and Sorry!
The summer program is operating with a staff of 15, including part-time employees, volunteers, and Youth@Work students.
