Summer camp is back for 2021.
The Family YMCA of Marion and Polk counties has opened registration for Camp Silver Creek, its overnight camp for kids and teens, as well as day camp at Camp Greider.
Camp Silver Creek has hosted kids for summer activities at Silver Falls State Park for more than 80 years, closing for the first time in 2020 because of Covid restrictions.
Now, the YMCA can host up to 120 kids per session at the camp, said camping director Jeff Dickmann. Kids will be kept in groups of 30 and some activities may need to be modified because of Covid protocols. But Dickmann said camp this summer will include the hallmarks of youth summer camp – skits, songs around the campfire, kayaking, archery, sports and more.
More information and registration is available on the YMCA website.
