Kent is one of the few cities to offer a summer resident camp for boys and girls entering the fifth, sixth or seventh grade this fall.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Aug. 5-9 camp, now in its 34th year, offers a wide spectrum of activities and professional management. Eighty-five percent of the camp counselors return.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The camp, at the base of Mount Si in the Cascade foothills, is four miles east of North Bend. It is nestled in the woods on 360 acres of land.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Cost for the camp is $320, which includes transportation, cabin accommodations, supervision and all meals, field trip and camp shirt.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Scholarship monies are available for Kent residents on free-and-reduced lunches.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
