Summer Youth Camps

A group of children with smiling faces run in front of trees and a shining sun.

Franklin County Job and Family Services funds summer youth camp opportunities for students ages 5-13. Students can participate in these day-long camps at no cost to their parents and guardians as long as the family's income is at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines.
