Activities
The youth will have a fun filled summer with outside recreational activities (volley ball, basketball, soccer, baseball etc). Other activities include weekly swimming, movies and field trips to various museums and events.
Parent Involvement
J. T. Locke requires involvement of parents in the growth of their children. Parents will volunteer three one-hour sessions during the eight-weeks of summer camp. It has been said, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Parents face many challenges in today’s society while raising children and we all need to be involved in ensuring that I children have every opportunity to succeed in society. Parents volunteering allows the parents to see their children in a different setting and encourages their children that the parent is concerned about what the child is doing.
