There are just a couple of days left for the next set of summer youth programming with the Jefferson Parks and Recreation Department. 

JPRD Assistant Director Henry Pohlmeyer says there are two Summer Sports Camps coming up, with the first one for kids going into first through third grades from 1-4pm this coming Monday through Wednesday. The second Summer Sports Camp is for youth going into fourth through sixth grades also from 1-4pm from the following Monday through Wednesday. Pohlmeyer notes for both camps, kids will learn about basketball, soccer, kickball, dodgeball, football and bowling. 

He talks about his favorite part about having these types of programs.

“It is a very good introductory to just a vast variety of sports. So if you are very involved in baseball but have never really tried soccer, or vice versa, it is a great opportunity to kind of dip your toes into a sport. It’s a good way to socialize with friends. It’s a good time for everybody.”  

The cost to participate in either camp is $20 for Greene County Community Center members and $25 for non-members. Contact the community center at 515-386-3412 or click here to sign up.
