More than 100 children played games, lined up for balloon animals and snow cones, participated in the donut dangle --where they tried to eat donuts off a string -- and took turns in an inflatable bounce house on July 13 in Cleveland?s Lincoln Park. Their laughter could be heard throughout the park, which is in the city?s Tremont neighborhood.
Overseeing the children -- ages 5-13 -- were about 50 staff members, counselors and junior counselors, all part of Augustine Rainbow Camp. The program is a ministry of St. Augustine Parish, located just across West 14th Street. The camp, which began in 1973, is open to all children, including those with disabilities.
Gerry Kasper, camp director, is in his 30th year with the program
