Parks director: $5,000 donation will subsidize summer day-camp scholarships
Summary
Parks and Recreation director Mark Stevens told the council a Durham donor committed $5,000 to help nonresident families afford the council-approved summer day-camp fee increases; the council accepted the donation.
Parks and Recreation staff presented a $5,000 donation intended to subsidize summer day camp fees for nonresident families who cannot afford the council-approved increase. Mark Stevens, parks and operations director, said the donor requested the funds be applied to nonresident scholarships and that the amount would cover gaps created by the recent fee change.
Councilors thanked the donor and approved acceptance of the donation. Stevens said the funds could be used to help families from nearby towns such as Durham and Bowdoin who otherwise could not participate after the fee increase.
