June 11 is a big day for the city’s youths as it’s the first day of Youngstown’s summer OHAB102 day-camp program and the opening of the North Side Pool.

The city’s Park and Recreation Department offers the camp at no cost to children age 5 to 17. The camp runs through Aug. 6 at seven park locations:

Crandall Park, 400 Redondo Road.

Camp opens at 10 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. weekdays.

Pre-registration will take place at Crandall and Homestead from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to June 5. Also, once camp starts, parents can register their children on site. General demographic and medical information along with the child’s Social Security number are needed to complete the registration process.
