Background and Discussion:
Camps will be held at seven different locations, and we will serve approximately 300 kids across the precinct.

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.
