Recreation superintendent reports steady camp attendance but low takeup of evening meals
Summary
The recreation superintendent reported week‑by‑week camp attendance numbers and said senior programs were successful; she warned that dinner meals in the summer feeding program have low participation and said the city will reevaluate the program in budget season.
The Superintendent of Recreation provided detailed week‑by‑week attendance figures for the city’s summer programs and reported that while camps have held steady, the evening meal option in the city’s free summer meals program is seeing low participation.
"Little people playtime" and the larger sports camp reported weekly counts across six weeks; the superintendent said numbers are within expectations for the younger program and that sports camp rose after a low first week and then stabilized. She said two senior trips ran successfully and senior programming has been well attended.
On summer meals, the superintendent said the city serves lunches at two sites and offers dinner at two other sites but staff report families are declining the evening meals. She said the city will revisit the program during the upcoming budget process because of staffing and resource commitments.
