Background and Discussion:

Camps will be held at seven different locations, and we will serve approximately 300 kids across the precinct. In-door camp locations are JD Walker, Deputy Darren Almendarez, Hardy, Mangum Howell Community Centers, and East Harris County Activity Center. Outdoor camps will be at Challenger 7 Memorial Park and North Shore Rotary Pavilion.

One portion is funded by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) grant in the amount of $5,000.
