Grant submitted for Maine Outdoor School youth camp; committee seeks funding for curriculum
Summary
Parks & Rec reported that Bonnie Sparks submitted a Peninsula Community Fund grant request (about $11,000) to fund curriculum for a three-day Maine Outdoor School camp during an April school break and possibly a summer program; costs were described as primarily for curriculum.
Committee members reviewed a proposal from Maine Outdoor School to run a youth camp in partnership with Friends of Taunton Bay and the Parks & Recreation committee. Bonnie Sparks told members she submitted a grant application to the Peninsula Community Fund to cover curriculum costs for 24 program hours, with the grant described in the notes as for approximately $11,000.
The committee discussed running the camp during the April school break as a three-day program and potentially expanding to a summer offering if the initial sessions proceed. Members identified curriculum costs as the primary expense and noted no final decision on scheduling or participant fees was recorded in the meeting notes.
The committee will await notification about the Peninsula Community Fund application before finalizing program dates and recruitment plans.
