A little summer fun when that was hard to find

The Port Washington Parks and Recreation Department found a way to provide a season of fun for youngsters in a year when summer camps were canceled and schools are struggling with plans to reopen and provide a sense of normalcy for students.

Its playground program, which ran from June 29 to Aug. 14, provided seven weeks of activities for 63 children this summer.

“Our park program was pretty awesome this year,” Recreation Director Kiley Schulte said Tuesday. “We got them outside and playing, and that was the goal. We made it safe and fun.
