Hanging around at summer camp

Summer means summer camp programs for many area youngsters. And they're turning out in big numbers for the Bayou Vista Community Center's camp. This week's session drew 45 youngsters, the program's maximum capacity. The adjacent splash pad was off limits because of a water leak, but the kids had fun with playground equipment, the miniature golf course, and arts and crafts. On Wednesday, campers made solar system bracelets with beads representing the planets. The program runs through July, and events on the schedule include Olympic games with events like the pool noodle javelin. Campers can register for one-week or two-week sessions. You can sign up on the Bayou Vista Civic Center website or by visiting the center.
