Recreation committee plans Flag Day and Juneteenth events; Camp Gary registration to open
Summary
The recreation committee said it will return Flag Day to Longacre Boulevard, is discussing a Juneteenth partnership with local organizations, and announced Camp Gary registration will open with scholarships and youth employment opportunities.
Yeadon’s recreation committee outlined plans for Flag Day and Juneteenth and said Camp Gary registration will open soon with scholarships available.
The recreation representative said Flag Day will move back to Longacre Boulevard and will likely run from West Cobbs Creek to Church Lane. The committee is seeking permission from the school district to hold fireworks and will meet with district officials to confirm dates.
The committee also reported outreach from the NOW swim club to partner on a Juneteenth event; the recreation representative said the borough can discuss options and possibly host elements in a community park. The representative said the borough will not plan two events the same week but will consider logistical and staffing coordination.
The committee said registration for Camp Gary will open soon, that scholarships will be offered for families in need, and that Camp Gary will have employment opportunities for youth counselors and staff. For additional details the representative directed residents to the camp website or to call the number provided by the committee.
No formal council votes were taken on event permits or funding at the meeting; the items are in planning and will return for final approvals as dates and permissions are confirmed.
