MILL HALL Even after the school year ends, educational opportunities in the Keystone Central School District will continue.
At Thursday night’s work session, district administrators gave board members a closer look at “Keystone Camp,” a month-long summer learning session. The presentation was made by Lesley Skrtich, camp coordinator, and Megan Hull, KCSD’s Director of Curriculum and Innovation.
Hull spoke at length about the makeup of the Keystone Camp.
According to Hull, the purpose of the camp is to provide students in kindergarten through 12th grade a safe and fun learning environment for a month during the summer in order to maintain educational consistency for students.
