CONWAY — Conway Parks and Rec Director John Eastman got the news he was hoping for last Friday, when Gov. Chris Sununu announced that day camps would be allowed to start later this month under his COVID-19 Stay at Home 2.0 reopening plan.
“We are thrilled to announce the Conway Parks and Recreation Department will be offering a seven-week camp beginning on Monday, June 29, and concluding Friday, Aug. 14,” Eastman posted Monday on conwayrec.com.
