TL Storer summer day camp programs began yesterday, with 186 Alton and Barnstead students registered for four-day camp sessions during July and August.
Under the Federal ARP/ESSER program, the Alton and Barnstead school districts have partnered with TL Storer to develop traditional camp programs with embedded academic content as an enrichment activity for students. Students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch were provided with tuition waivers for up to three weeks of camp, and all other Alton & Barnstead students receive 20% off TL Storer's regular tuition pricing.
Programs include hiking, watersports, orienteering, agriculture, shooting sports, and more. "Feedback last summer and the year before has been extremely positive," said Robb Ellis of TL Storer. We have been working with the school districts to make this sustainable for kids from both towns after the federal funding ends next year."
