Basking alongside a pool, reuniting with close friends and making memories to last a lifetime – What most people call a vacation is, for a group of Bulloch County children this summer, simply Thursday. A tradition since 1969, Statesboro-Bulloch County Parks and Recreation Department’s summer children’s camp kicked-off this week, offering kindergarten through 5th grade students a fun and educational way to spend their school-free days. Split into two camps – Camp Cherokee for pre-K through 1st grade students and Camp Tomahawk for older children – the annual program provides students with a variety of activities and learning opportunities throughout the nine-week break between school years.
