Boardman Park Adventure camp for kids open this week

BOARDMAN

The Boardman Park Adventure Day Camp had its first opportunity this week to educate and entertain its young campers.

Karen McCallum, camp recreation director, said the camp gives children the same amount of learning as school, but with a better approach for the summer that’s more natural for young and active minds.

“There’s no pressure. There are no tests at the end of the week,” McCallum said. “This is all fun, and there’s no limit on questions.”

The camp consists of 97 children from kindergarten to sixth grade. It began Monday and continues to Aug. 19.

Campers participate in arts and crafts, team-building exercises, creative arts, science activities, and sports every day. The camp started its 10-week program with a presentation about anthropology through a collaboration with Youngstown State University’s Anthropology Colloquium.
