Belle Center plans children's summer camp

The Belle Center, 104 Maryland St., is now accepting registration for its  annual children’s summer camp.
 The official name of the camp is The Young Achievers Program. The Belle Center has the goal in mind to get children interested in furthering their education after high school.
 “We want every child to have the opportunity to reach their full potential,” said Program Director James McNeil.
 The camp runs all summer, Monday through Friday, from June 25 to Aug. 31  There are two separate sessions available depending on grade level and all students from Kindergarten through 12th grade are welcome.  Some classes the camp offers include dance, math, reading and swimming.
  They also offer field trips every Friday. McNeil said that this exposure will get the children to want to pursue further education whether it be college, military or some type of trade school. There is a fee for the camp but there are also full and reduced cost scholarships for families.
