Kent is one of the few cities to offer a resident camp for boys and girls entering the fifth, sixth or seventh grade this fall.

The Aug. 6-10 camp, now in its 33rd year, offers a wide spectrum of activities and professional management.

The camp, at the base of Mount Si in the Cascade foothills, is four miles east of North Bend. It is nestled in the woods on 360 acres of land.

Cost for the camp is $320, which includes transportation, cabin accommodations, supervision and all meals, field trip and camp shirt.

Scholarship monies are available for Kent residents on free-and-reduced lunches.
