Zoom Camp Offers Music, Gardening, Storytime and Soccer Fun

Thirty-two children signed up to participate in this week’s Zoom Camp with Chester Upland Youth Soccer.

Each received musical instruments, gardening supplies (generously donated by Swarthmore Hardware,) an indoor ball, a journal, markers and other toys to play along with the camp counselors’ activities. Additionally, Lifewerks provided groceries and snacks for participating families, and the Kara Barnard Youth Literacy Fund provided boxes of books for children to make selections for summer reading. Special thanks also to Chester Community Coalition for donating camp bags.

CUYS Zoom Camp continues Tuesday and Wednesday this week. To learn more about CUYS’ summer programming, please visit https://cuys.org/registration-info
