POTTSTOWN PA – The 2026 edition of “Summer Adventure Camp,” conducted by the Pottstown Parks and Recreation Department, is ready to help children and grandchildren get the most from their summer vacations.
The camp, intended for those between the ages of 5 (who have completed pre-kindergarten class) and 12, this year will be held at Lincoln Elementary School, 461 N. York St. Its programs will run eight weeks, from June 9 to Aug. 1, with weekly 3- and 5-day attendance options. Part-time schedules must be consistent, with same attendance days each week.
Summer Camp represents “a great opportunity for children and youth to build socialization skills and make new friends,” the department says. Lunch and an afternoon snack will be provided daily, under the Pennsylvania Summer Feeding Program.
