CONWAY — Ready and excited to start, is the message from the Conway Parks and Recreation Department which will kickoff seven weeks of summer camp on Monday morning. Camp will look a little different amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but officials believe they can still give campers an experience they’ll enjoy.
Through Thursday afternoon, about 130 children, ages 6-14, from Albany and Conway, have registered for camp.
