KAY COUNTY COUNCIL DAY CAMP
Every summer during July, the Council sponsors a day camp for students with developmental disabilities under the age of 21. Summer Camp affords these children the opportunity to build relationships and share in group activities. These individuals do not have other options for planned summer activities and may not qualify for other programs.
​
The Camp has two concurrent segments. The students are divided into age groups. An older group, between the ages of 10 and 21, and the younger group, between the ages of 6 and 10, meet twice a week to participate in the planned activities. The program starts at 11 am and ends at 3 pm each day. Lunch and snacks are provided. The program allows the students to experience the local water park, movies, the lake, putt putt, bowling, and picnicking to name a few activities.
