We will also be doing a high level of cleaning. Noted Recreation Supervisor Stephanie Schutta, “Many

of our programs are outside to accommodate safety guidelines, including wearing masks and putting kids at different tables.”

Summer camp options Adventure Quest offers a variety of camps for Trekkers (ages 3-5) and Travelers (ages 6-11). Starting in June and going into August, highly
