The City of Chattanooga’s Department of Community Development is gearing up for the much-anticipated annual kids and teen summer camp. Registration is now open with an enrollment deadline of June 1.

More Community Centers, More Fun

In a positive trend from the previous years, an increased number of community centers across Chattanooga have pledged to host the summer camp. This expansion provides additional opportunities for both Chattanooga residents and non-residents to partake in a platter of fun-filled and educational activities curated exclusively for the summer program.

Interim Administrator for the Department of Community Development, Don Walker, showed enthusiasm regarding this development. He stated, “With an increase in community center participation and more community resources signing up to curate activities for the youth, we are looking forward to embracing participants with activities inspired to enrich the mind, enhance growth in our youth, and of course, include loads of fun.”
