Free Snow Day Camp Planned Friday
City of Decatur residents get a break but camp is limited to 80 and on a first come, first served basis
With many workplaces calling their employees back to work, the City Schools of Decatur has a solution - at least for those who live within the city limits - now that Friday is another snow day.
They're hosting a snow day camp at the City of Decatur Recreation Center on Sycamore Street. The best part: camp is free.
Linda Harris of the City of Decatur economic development department said camp is on for children in Kindergarten to 8th grade.
The details from Harris:
Snow Day Camp at Decatur Recreation Center - 231 Sycamore Street - Friday January 14

Not a resident, but a school employee - this was very generous of you and I know the parents who utilize you or who hear about this offering will be looking to you all in the future. Decatur is the perfect example of a community that works to support eachother - way to go!!
