Registration is now open for Camp Joyful Soles, Milton's special needs day camp for children age 12 to 18.
Additionally, the city is hiring three camp counselors to help staff and run the effort, said Tom Gilliam, Milton's recreation programs coordinator.
"For the second year, we will offer this camp for children with mild disabilities as a partnership with the City of Alpharetta," said Gilliam. "Last year was a great success, and we had overwhelming support from parents looking for options after Alpharetta's Camp Happy Hearts."
HOW TO REGISTER AND CAMP INFORMATION
To register for Joyful Soles, visit www.cityofmiltonga.us and download the form. It may be filled out online, then mailed or dropped off at Milton's City Hall, 13000 Deerfield Parkway, Suite 107 Milton, GA 30004. Please make sure if mailing to clearly mark the contents are for Tom Gilliam.
Camp Joyful Soles, held in conjunction with Alpharetta's Camp Happy Hearts, will take place at Hopewell Middle School from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 4 to July 27 (with no camp July 4). This small, specialized camp is limited to just 20 participants a week and includes arts and crafts, games, special guests, fitness classes and swimming once a week.
The cost is $125 for Milton and Alpharetta residents and $187.50 for non-residents (a 50 percent increase) per week. Guardians may register for all eight weeks or a week at a time. The first week must be paid in full. There is a $50 per-week, non-refundable, non-transferable fee to hold spaces in future weeks. Remainder of the balance is due prior to the week reserved.
COUNSELORS NEEDED
The City of Milton Parks and Recreation Department is hiring three part-time, seasonal positions - a lead counselor and two counselors - to help run and staff Camp Joyful Soles.
