The City Council approved an ordinance Monday that clears the way for another summer of day camps hosted by the Parks and Recreation Department. The ordinance adopts the City’s Standards of Care for Youth Programs and is required annually by the state in order for the summer camp program to be exempt from state day care regulations. In addition, the Council also adopted Standards of Care for the City’s Early Childhood Development programs held at Huffhines Recreation Center year-round. 

The City is partnering with RISD again this year in the camp program, offering three camps at Terrace Elementary (Kinder, Elementary and Teen). Playground Camp, for ages 7-11, will be held at Heights Recreation Center/Heights Park.
