A very successful Summer Sports Camp took place in Eston’s AGT Community Centre the week of August 19th to 22nd. Recreation Director, Garrett Turner organized the week of activities for kids ages five to ten years. There were also four camp coaches on site, three of whom were lifeguards.

Sports activities included football, baseball, soccer, floor hockey, dodgeball, bowling, swimming, as well as arts and crafts. Garrett said the various venues at the community centre enabled them to offer a wide assortment of activities.

“The pool is across from the parking lot so the kids spent the last hour of each day swimming,” he explained. “And we went to the library one day where the librarian helped with a craft.”

This was the second summer sports camp, with the first one held in July. “Nineteen kids attended the July camp and this one had twenty-two,” he reported. “It was a pretty good turnout; it might be something we can expand next year.”
