Organizers of the Kent Parks Resident Camp at Waskowitz will host a pair of parent/camper informational meetings – June 12 and July 10 – from 6:30-9:30 p.m. at Kent Commons, 525 4th Avenue N.

The meetings are an opportunity for parents and campers to meet the camp director and staff. A slideshow presentation will be presented.

Kent is one of the few cities to offer a summer resident camp for boys and girls entering the fifth, sixth or seventh grade this fall.

The Aug. 5-9 camp, now in its 34th year, offers a wide spectrum of activities and professional management. Eighty-five percent of the camp counselors return.

The camp, at the base of Mount Si in the Cascade foothills, is four miles east of North Bend. It is nestled in the woods on 360 acres of land.

Cost for the camp is $320, which includes transportation, cabin accommodations, supervision and all meals, field trip and camp shirt.

Scholarship monies are available for Kent residents on free-and-reduced lunches.
