Dumfries, Va. –– The Boys and Girls Club in Dumfries is ready to reopen its doors for the first time in more than two years.
On Monday, the facility was set to welcome 27 children into a nine-week summer camp, which offers children access to the gym, basketball courts, game rooms and computers. Children will also enjoy a field trip once per week.
“It’s good to be back here at the General Heiser Branch [of the Boys and Girls Club]. I’ve worked at the Manassas branch and at the Hylton Branch in Dale City, but I started here and it’s good to have it back open” said Camp Director Judy Moore.
Budget cuts forced the closure of the facility which was scheduled to reopen for the first time Monday.
Children will also have access to a math and reading center that will allow them to keep up with learning while school is out.
The cost of the summer camp is $120 per week per child.
The General Heiser Branch of the Boys and Girls Club is located 17565 Old Stagecoach Road in Dumfries.
