Kingsport: Kids Day Out Camp

Kingsport offers Kids’ Day Out Camp

The Kingsport Parks and Recreation Department is offering a special one-day children’s camp next week. The camp will be held on February 9 – the same day as a Kingsport City Schools’ parent/teacher conference day.

Meaning, while parents meet with teachers, their children can attend a fun-filled day of games and activities.

The one-day camp will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on February 9 at the V.O. Dobbins, Sr. Complex (301 Louis Street).

The cost per child is $10 and the camp is open for ages 6 to 12. The maximum number of registrants is 50. Participants will need to bring a lunch and snack. Walk-ups will be accepted on the day of the camp.

The day’s activities will be like those found during the normal, summer camp program – video games, dodgeball, basketball, kickball, coloring, puzzles, board and card games, crafts and more.

About the City of Kingsport

Founded in 1917, the City of Kingsport (pop. 55,400) is located on the Tennessee-Virginia border at the crossroads of I-81 and I-26 near the geographic center of the eastern United States. The city is widely known as a planned community, designed by renowned city planner John Nolen and wrapping around the foot of Bays Mountain – a 3,750-acre park, nature preserve, planetarium and observatory. Kingsport is recognized as an International Safe Community by the National Safety Council, a Healthier Tennessee community, and won the 2009 Harvard Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiatives. While many city names are duplicated throughout the U.S., there’s only one Kingsport – a fact that invokes community pride, known locally as the “Kingsport Spirit.” For more information, please visit www.kingsporttn.gov.
