Canton Activity Crew
When: June 20 - August 12, 2022
Beginning March 5, 2022 at 10:00 a.m.
Locations and times
IMPORTANT CAC SITE CHANGE
UPDATE: June 27, 2022
The Canton Activity Crew Team has made the decision to combine Freedom and Heritage Park sites in one location for the remainder of the 2022 summer camp year. In an effort to maximize the strengths of our team members and ensure that all staff feels equally supported, we will complete weeks two through eight of Canton Activity Crew at Heritage Park. Drop-off and pickup will be at the Heritage Park North Pavilions behind the Fire Station for all campers regardless of the site originally registered for. Drop-off and pickup times will remain the same. We are fortunate enough to have the option to operate at one site this year because of reduced numbers of campers due to staff shortages. The benefits of operating completely out of Heritage Park include water on-site, a permanent bathroom, a short distance to the Summit on the Park, and public safety, and a larger space to occupy.
- 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
- Heritage Park
- 2:00 - 5:00 p.m.
