Kensington committee hears summer camp update as attendance tops 25; staff seek help with registration and logistics

Lili Spinosa, chair of the Kensington Recreation and Social Committee, on July 7 heard a summer camp update from staffers Ally and Emily at a meeting held at the Kensington Public Library.

Ally and Emily said camp operations are running smoothly and that weekly attendance has grown to more than 25 children. Both told the committee they are interested in returning next summer; Ally said she has a potential candidate for assistant director. Emily reported problems with the camp’s online registration system and said she will seek assistance from Tim to resolve the issue.

The camp staff presented specific requests for committee support: ensure the bunker is cleaned by users, provide “Reserved” signs for pavilion picnic tables, solicit donations of board games, and install signage directing parents to the drop-off area. Those requests were recorded in the meeting minutes as items the committee will consider and act on.

Committee members did not record a formal vote on the requests at the July 7 meeting. The minutes list follow-up assignments for other items on the agenda but show no recorded decision to fund or immediately purchase the requested signs or games. The next full committee meeting is scheduled for Aug. 18 at the Kensington Public Library, where members listed in the minutes may revisit these requests.

Speakers referenced in this account were identified in the meeting record as Ally and Emily (camp staff), Lili Spinosa (who called the meeting to order), and Tim (named as the person Emily will contact for registration help). The meeting record does not specify staff titles beyond those identifications, and it does not include direct quotations.
