DCCC offers summer camps for children

Children’s summer camps at Delaware County Community College will begin Monday, June 27 and continue through Thursday, August 4. All camps will be Pennsylvania and United States Centers for Disease Control compliant.
Safety and prevention instructions will take place from Monday to Thursday because during the summer months the college is closed on Fridays.

This year, unemployed Delaware County residents can claim up to $1,000 in summer camp expense credits for a child so caregivers can better focus on finding a job or back to work. Earlier this year, the Delaware County Board approved the Delco Strong Summer Camp Solution program, which can help reduce the barriers faced by caregivers who struggle to find work — a situation made more difficult by the summer school closures and the difficulty of finding childcare.
