New summer program for teens

The Beacon Recreation Department has launched a counselor-in-training program for 12- to 15-year-olds who will work on camp service projects, engage in team-building activities and learn the skills needed to become counselors.

Tuition is $100 per week, and the program lasts one to three weeks during the department’s summer camps, which run from July 9 to Aug. 10. The deadline to apply is May 23. See cityofbeacon.org.
