A Few Spots Open At Parks And Rec Summer Camps

Still scrambling to find the perfect summer camp for your school-aged kids?

Newtown Township Parks and Recreation has openings at two of its popular summer day camps.

Both Camp Newtown and Teen Camp have spots available. Camp Beechtree, which is for younger children, is totally full, said Kathy Pawlenko, Director of the township's Park and Recreation Department.

The six-week camps begin next Monday, June 27.

Camp Newtown, which is held at Newtown Elementary School from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., is for children in grades one through five. It features arts and crafts, swimming, off-site field trips, pizza parties, and more.

Children at Camp Newtown go on trips to Chuck-E-Cheese, bowling at the Brunswick Zone, and on an old fashioned hayride.  Extended care from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. is available before and after for children attending Camp Newtown.

The Teen Camp, held at Goodnoe Elementary from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., is for children in grades six through eight. Children at teen camp do on-site activities as well as go on off-site field trips, including a day at Dorney Park, bowling, laser tag, and tubing.

Pawlenko said experienced teachers run the camps and receive assistance from volunteer parents.  The quality of the camp for the value can't be beat, Pawlenko noted.
