Sumner Park District has great 6th year of summer programs

Kids at Sumner Park got crafty.

This summer in June and July the Sumner Park District hosted Science¨ Art¨ Nature Sports programs for the children of Pecatonica. This is the 6th year for the Sumner Park Kids Camps. The camps were filled with a variety of activities including face painting¨ nature hikes¨ science experiments¨ art projects and physical recreation.
Program Director Emily Hachmeister says that the “Park programs have grown in size each year and we have been able to add more programs as more kids participate.”
Special thanks must be given to those who help lead the programs like local teacher Beth Melancen and the summer staff. Their efforts allow the park’s programs to run successfully.
The camps for next season’s summer programs will be available in April 2020. Please keep an eye out for all upcoming events and activities. For more information about the Sumner Park District’s recreation programs please call 815-239-1083 or email at sumnerpark@outlookÆcom.
