Free Summer Camp Available for Area Youth

 

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Palouse area youth are invited to join in the daily enrichment activities of the National Youth Sports Program at Washington State University this summer, said Cedric Price, NYSP activity director.

 

The free program will begin on June 20 and will continue until July 26. NYSP is targeted to low-income families, however no applicants will be rejected, Price said. The program is open to youth from ages 10 through 16 who live within a 60-mile radius of WSU. That area reaches from Rosalia to Deary, Idaho. Free bus service is available.

 

Through the Summer Food Service Program, lunch and snacks will be provided to all eligible children free of charge. Acceptance and participation requirements for the program and all activities are the same for all regardless of race, color, national origin, gender or disability.

 

The participants enjoy a variety of educational programs, as well as sport and recreation activities and college preparation experiences, Price said. A total of about 350 youngsters are expected to participate, including for the first time, about 50 youth from the Coeur d'Alene Tribe.

 

Approximately 20 WSU students work for the program as camp counselors and program assistants. Those students gain valuable experience in directing camp activities and recreation programs.

 

All youth interested in participating should register by June 15 by contacting NYSP Activity Director Cedric Price at (509) 335-1309 or by e-mail to pricec at wsu.edu.
