Steps to Success, which provides preschool and day care services in Leola, has always run a summer camp, but this year, camp will be held off-site at Leola Elementary School, 11 School Drive, Leola. Along with a new location, Adriana Witman, director of school-age programs, has planned a variety of activities and theme weeks to hold the interest of children who attend.

Camp will be offered for children who have completed kindergarten through those who have completed sixth grade from Wednesday, June 9, through Wednesday, Aug. 18, from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily on Mondays through Fridays. Breakfast and a snack will be provided by the camp. Campers should pack a lunch to bring along.

According to Witman, health checks will be completed each morning. Masks must be worn during camp activities, and campers will be socially distanced. Campers will be grouped based on the elementary school they attend with participants being added to the smallest group.

According to Witman, theme weeks will focus on art, reptiles, weather, outer space, undersea creatures, and more. Special events and day trips that will tie into themes will include a visit with Jesse Rothacker of Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary, a trip to see Disney's "Descendants" at the Dutch Apple, a possible field trip to an amusement arcade, and regular visits to the Leola Park Pool. Witman also hopes to connect with Sea World in Florida to take part in a virtual education program about whales or stingrays, with opportunities for students to ask questions.

Witman would like to see campers registered to take part by Friday, May 21. Children may be registered by calling 717-803-5441 or emailing adrianawitman.steps@gmail.com.
