FRYEBURG, Maine — “We’re going to go through the process and hopefully pull it off,” Fryeburg Recreation Director Rick Buzzell said last Wednesday, after deciding to try offering a modified version of day camp for children this summer amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Camp would run Mondays-Fridays, June 22-July 31. “I hope we can move forward,” he said by phone last week. “There seems to be interest.”
