Kingsport Parks and Recreation offering specialty camps
Kingsport’s Parks and Recreation Department is offering a series of specialty camps this summer for children and teenagers with each one focusing on a specific activity for an entire week.
If your child loves competing in video games, building with LEGO bricks or engaging in adaptive activities, then our specialty camps just might be the program to sign up for this summer.
