The
Franklin County Extension Office says there is a problem with Summer
Camp – its too popular.
42
local children attend the week long Camp Timpoochee Summer Camp this
year, which is a record attendance for our county.
In
fact we had more kids attend than any of our neighboring counties
including Gulf and Bay counties.
Extension
Director Erik Lovestrand said the high attendance was in large part
because of generous donations from the local business community.
The
big issue now is transportation to get all of the kids to camp.
Franklin
County has been sharing transportation with our neighboring counties
but because of the growing interest in the camp, that is no longer a
good option.
Lovestrand
said he now plans to approach the school district to discuss using a
school bus to take all of the campers to Niceville where the camp is
located.
He
said Franklin County needs its own bus to carry all of the kids and
their gear
He
hopes to have something worked out before camp season begins next
summer.
