The Weaverville Summer Day Camp has concluded another successful season at Lowden Park. The District ran 5 weekly sessions from June 26th to July 28th for children in the first through the fifth grades.
A total of fifty children attended one or more sessions and enjoyed various activities. The overall goal of the camp was to provide nutritional information, healthy snacks and fun physical activities to children empowering them to adopt healthy eating habits and physical activity patterns as a part of a healthy lifestyle and to learn about the natural world around them. The camp also gives the District the opportunity to provide summer jobs for local high school students. This year’s counselors were Ashley Britton, Hannah Hammett, Heather Nawrock and Landis Taylor.
The camp was sponsored by the Trinity County Resource Conservation District and led by the District’s Watershed Stewardship members, Jessie Oliver and Nancy Small. Camp received funding from the Shasta Cascade Regional Nutrition Network and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Many volunteers gave their time to teach their many skills to the children of the camp. We would like to thank them for their time and effort. The Trinity County Resource Conservation District looks forward to another successful camping year in 2007.
