With summer vacation around the corner, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont is encouraging families to send their children to camps.
They say youth camps provide learning opportunities and resources that improve a child's quality of life.
"These camps represent a little bit of something for every one of these kids, helps to get back in the game, helps to learn in a different way, helps to be with each other and socialize and makes the fall even better," Lamont said. Just last week, Lamont announced that $13 million in grants will go to 110 organizations to provide learning opportunities to children during the summers of 2023 and 2024.
