Kidzcamp in Greenbrier
|
|
Volunteer Rhonda Garrett shares her pet raccoon, Ringo, with campers at Greenbrier's Kidzcamp. The summer daycamp was funded in part with a grant from the Community Foundation of Faulkner County and included sessions in physical activity, arts and crafts, music, heritage and culture, wildlife and nature, and making healthy choices. The week-long camp, sponsored by the Greenbrier City Event Center, was a pilot program for elementary and middle school youths in an effort to provide positive and supervised activities during summer vacation.
