Staff describes Camp T and reports 40–50 families expressed interest
Summary
Department staff described the year-round youth programming and Camp T responsibilities that the vacant position covered and said at least 40–50 people have reached out indicating interest; staff also said they are pursuing a United Way grant.
Department staff summarized the responsibilities in the vacated portfolio, explaining the role runs year-round after-school programming and oversees Camp T during the summer and vacation weeks.
"We have every intention to get that off the ground this year, and we've had at least 40 or 50 people reach out to us already," a staff member said, describing multiple participation and payment options and the program's role as a youth center for grades up to seventh. The staff member said some program funding is grant-based and that new grant cycles through United Way had just opened.
Commissioners said the level of interest—several dozen inquiries—supports filling the role quickly because Camp T is a major revenue generator for the department and is central to after-school offerings.
