H2O, Lakewood’s  youth service organization, is happy to announce that they will be holding an in-person Summer Service Camp this year.

Lakewood residents entering grades 7-9 will spend time performing service activities and team building activities.  Trained high school/college aged students act as service mentors for the younger participants.  These skilled counselors supervise, instruct, motivate and empower their teams of five to six campers through a rich variety of hands on activities and learning experiences.

What Covid safety precautions are being implemented?

We will plan to eat and have recreation outdoors as much as possible and distance while indoors. Masking will be required while indoors.

Campers will not visit agencies for service; all service is onsite or outdoors. When needed, we will transport campers on an 18-passenger bus at reduced capacity.
