For The Kids: Free ‘Water Camp’ To Be Held At Lake Stone
June 2, 2011
Escambia County Extension will offer two free water camps this summer, including one at Lake Stone in Century.
The water camps are for children 8-12 on June 29 and 30. Water Camp has fun, hands-on activities designed to get kids excited about water resources and healthy lifestyles. Although registration runs through June 22, there is a limit of 20 children per session, so early registration is encouraged.
The June 29 camp will be held at Lake Stone, 801 West Highway 4, Century and the June 30 camp will be held at the Langley Bell 4-H camp, 4810 West Nine Mile Road. Both camps start at 9 a.m. and end at 1 p.m.
There will be sprinklers and a slip-and-slide, so a swimsuit and sunscreen are needed. Lunch will be provided for all attendees. Parents are not required to stay during the session.
Call ahead if assistance is needed with transportation to the Century site.
For more information or to register, contact Carrie Stevenson, ctsteven@ufl.edu or Libbie Johnson, libbiej@ufl.edu or call (850) 475-5230.

By the way, cool idea. I’ll be bringing my kids.
me2, I have lived here for 20 years and have never heard of “events like this” happening at the 4H site. As a matter of fact, I’ve never stepped foot onto the 4H site, as a child, teen or adult, there has never been any reason to. I’m sure there are many people that have a use for it but they could certainly take the money they make from the sale and find a new location, if they haven’t already. Navy Federal has provided something like 2000 jobs to the area with many more coming, in addition to all the construction. If they would like to buy that land to add even more jobs, then so be it.
i totally agree with the first comment
I can assure you that there will be supervision at all the day camps. Bullying will not be tolerated. Although parents are not required to stay, they can stay if they would like. If anyone has questions about this event, please contact either Carrie Stevenson or Libbie Johnson. Our contact information is listed in the body of the article. Thank you for publicizing this program, William.
I want to know how will i know if my child will be treated fairly and not get bullied by other children? my son is little for his age and kids tend to pick at him. Will they be watched by several adults or teenagers?
Enjoy the Langley Bell 4-H Camp while it still exists! Won’t be long before the land and building are sold to Navy Federal! To help keep this beautiful camp for activities such as this contact your County Commissioners and voice your support. They will be the ones making the final decision.
Great idea! I just wish they would have allowed from ages 6 to 12. Having 3 kids ages 6,8, and 9 I can’t send 2 and have the 3rd sit and watch pitifully. lol I wouldn’t leave my children there, as I would need to supervise them. Overall great idea though.
We need more programs like this.
