The Salvation Army in West Pittston needs support for its summer camping programs. Last summer the Salvation Army averaged 30 children a day at its Summer Day program, providing them with art/crafts, recreation and day trips such as Frances Slocum Park, Sno Mountain and Knobel’s Amusement Resort.
The Army also has a summer camping program which sends 30 children to Camp Ladore in the Poconos.
This is a 5-day, 4-night camp with a counselor. It costs $350 to send one child to Camp Ladore.
It costs $300 for the five-week summer day program which also includes breakfast, lunch and a snack each day.
The parent is charged a nominal fee and the Salvation Army, through donations, covers the rest.
To help support these summer programs or for more information, call Major Sheryl Hershey, Corps Officer/Pastor at 655-5947.
