Summer camp is the perfect place for kids to be kids, especially after the last year of evolving school schedules and modified activities. Douglas County Libraries is excited to offer an array of in-person summer camps for kids ages 4-11 at Camp DCL, June 7-August 6. Kids can connect with peers, have fun, and expand their skills and knowledge through interactive, hands-on activities, with precautions in place for health and safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a year of back and forth for our kids, shuffling between in-person and remote learning and missing friends and activities that help them thrive,\u201d said Kristen Kallio, Special Events Supervisor at DCL. \u201cWe\u2019re excited about our Camp DCL options this summer, and we want every camper to have a great experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
