UK Work-Life Summer Camps Fair to Ease Search for Child Care

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 15, 2017) — The University of Kentucky Office of Work-Life, within UK Human Resources, would like to make your search for great summer camps and/or summer child care for your children or grandchildren a little easier this year.

Save the date of Friday, March 3, for the fourth annual Summer Camps Fair. The fair will be held 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m. in the Hilary J. Boone Center, and is open to all faculty, staff and students. Spouses and partners are also welcome and encouraged to attend. Early registration is available here.

“Parents at UK will have the opportunity to meet with camp representatives from programs focused on everything from arts to sports to academics,” said Lisa Collins, communications marketing specialist in the Office of Work-Life. “We have heard great feedback from parents about previous camp fairs and are excited to offer the event again this year.”

Camps and activities from Fayette and surrounding counties will be at the event. Many camps are offering UK employee discounts, extended hours and/or pre-registration for those who attend. The Office of Work-Life hopes this event will help members of the UK community find summer camps, programs and child care that meet their families' summer care needs.
