Parents know with school out, finding fun, engaging activities for kids can be a challenge.
That’s where the city of Kent can help out with its Camp W.A.L.K.A.P.A.L.A. (Working At Letting Kids Appreciate Parks and Leisure Activities).
The camp offers a variety of sports, arts and crafts and field trips designed especially for K-6th graders. It runs every weekday from July 18 until Aug. 12 at East Hill Elementary, 9825 S. 240th Ave., from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The camp also offers a Counselor In Training program for teens going into 7th, 8th, and 9th grade who are genuinely interested in acquiring the skills necessary to become a counselor.
