Clear Lake parks and recreation outlines spring camps, new teen CIT program and summer events
Summary
The city’s new recreation and events coordinator summarized spring break camp participation, upcoming classes and the launch of a teen counselor-in-training program and summer concert series.
Charlotte White, Clear Lake Recreation and Events Coordinator, updated the council on recent and upcoming programming, including spring break camp participation, teen volunteer training and the summer concert series.
White said spring break camp served 35 children and used seven high‑school volunteers as camp counselors. She described daily activities (arts and crafts, STEM projects, sports) and noted photos from the camp were provided to city staff. Upcoming offerings White listed included a teen glow-in-the-dark event, an egg hunt for children 11 and under, a kids cooking class on May 17 (reported sold out), a candle-and-soap making class and a tea party on May 4 (two spots remaining), and a community movie night in May. White said the summer concert series begins June 21 and that summer camps will be posted the week after the meeting.
White also described a newly launched teen CIT (counselor-in-training) program; she said two training dates are planned in May and that participating teens will earn community-service hours and a CIT certificate to list on a resume. White said the program aims to provide trained youth to help supervise city camps and activities through spring, summer and winter offerings.
Why it matters: the recreation updates show active programming for youth and community engagement and identify opportunities for volunteer development and local partnerships.
Ending: Council members praised the coordinator’s work; no budget changes or policy actions were proposed at this meeting.
