RUMFORD – The River Valley Healthy Communities Coalition has been awarded funding to offer camperships for local children ages 5 to 12 to attend the Greater Rumford Community Center Day Camp at Black Mountain.

The Agnes. M. Lindsay Trust provided the grant and supports a number of health and welfare organizations, health projects, special needs, including the blind, deaf and learning disabled, the elderly, children’s hospitals, children’s homes, youth organizations, youth/family services and summer camperships/summer enrichment programs.

To receive an application for a campership, contact Patty Duguay at the River Valley Healthy Communities at 364-7408 or e-mail [email protected]. Applications are also available at 94 River St.

The campership program is open to all River Valley area families. The camperships cover the cost of attending the day camp activities and are made on the basis of demonstrated need and the availability of funds. The Campership process does not include registration.
