City Enhances Summer Recreation Camp with Certified Teachers

WHAT:  
Following the COVID-19 pandemic impacts to last year’s school year, the City of Orlando is helping ensure that students enrolled in city summer camps are prepared to return to the classroom in the fall. As part of this year’s summer camp programming, all city neighborhood centers have certified teachers on staff to provide academic programming to local youths in summer camps.
