Children in Lewis County can expect to find many opportunities for recreation or education programs this summer. School and county officials said these programs provide exercise and social interaction during the months out of school.

Several academic programs are taking place throughout the summer to prevent regression and help students, said Chris Derico, child nutrition director and high school programs supervisor.

These programs are beneficial to students to help them gain or catch up to their peers, he said.

In addition to Energy Express, beginning on June 19 at Peterson-Central Elementary School, Derico said Jane Lew Elementary School will be having a two-week program that is similar and available later in the summer.

Jane Lews program will run from July 10-21 and is paid for through a grant.

Lewis County High School is offering credit recovery for students who have failed a class or two, Derico said. Credit recovery is used to help students who are having academic troubles graduate on time with their class, he said.

Derico said Robert L. Bland Middle School will begin Summer Recreation on June 19, which will run most Mondays-Thursdays. The LCHS weight room will be open periodically, as well.

The summer food program will run from June 19 to Aug. 4 at various locations in Lewis County. This program provides free breakfast and lunch to children ages 18 and younger.

The summer food program along with our physical activity programs assist students to grow both physically and in many other physiological manners, Derico said. Many families struggle with providing healthy meals due to financial and time restraints. The summer program fills that gap between school seasons.

Children participating in Lewis Countys 4-H Camp this summer are gearing up for classes and recreational fun, according to Bruce Loyd, extension agent for the WVU Extension Service in Lewis County. The camp will take place at WVU Jacksons Mill stating July 2 and will give children something constructive to do this summer, he said.

Our county 4-H Camp is a residential camp that brings a bunch of children together for a week to enjoy fun, education and fellowship, he said.

This year, Loyd said the camp will include an educational activity in robotics.

Another event with the Extension Service includes the Jamboree at the Mill, which exhibits all 4-H products livestock and non-livestock, he said.

This is fun each year, and we have a lot of participation from 4-H kids in the surrounding areas, he said. We also try to add some educational aspects to this event too.

Dustin Crutchfield of the public relations department at Glenville State College said staff members have been organizing athletic camps for students in the area to enjoy.

Not only are they something fun for the students to do during their summer vacation, but many of them also have the added benefit of providing various types of instruction and immersion in the sport of their choosing, he said.

Camps include: Track and field, men and womens basketball, volleyball, cheerleading and football. Ages vary for each camp, and more information can be found at http://www.gscpioneers.com.
