We had the honor of serving over 700 kids at this year’s Summer Day Camp, a record for the program!

From park excursions to crafts to team challenges, our campers had a blast getting creative, building teamwork skills, and making new friends.

Here are some highlights by the numbers:

-80 campers served weekly
-20 scholarships provided to help make camp accessible for more kids
-6 teenage counselors-in-training who worked alongside staff to gain hands-on leadership experience and serve as positive role models for the campers
-30 excursions, including Silverwood Theme Park, Silver Mountain Waterpark, and Triple Play Family Fun Park
-Hundreds of activities and experiences across the 10 weeks of camp

We expanded camp staff from 8 to 14 this year to allow us to serve more kids while maintaining an engaging, safe, and personal atmosphere, and the Spokane Valley community showed up!

Thank you to the staff, counselors-in-training, and kids for bringing the energy each day and making this summer memorable.

Did you know that swimming pool and hot tub water contain chemicals that can be harmful to plant and aquatic life and can negatively impact our drinking water supply and local surface waters?

Before you pull the plug or start the pump as you prep your pool for the winter, follow these tips to dechlorinate/debrominate, adjust the pH to the correct levels, and control the volume and velocity of the water flow: SpokaneValleyWA.gov/DocumentCenter/View/2912

Thank you for helping to reduce the pollutants in our local surface and groundwaters!
