he Teen Xtreme camp ended the summer successfully by treating campers T to a big send off. The teen leadership program started May 28 and ran until Aug. 2, and had different events planned for each week. Sports and Recreation Specialist Karen Hartline said the camp enjoyed success over the summer by keeping most of the camps full. “We had an awesome turn out,” she said. The teens who attended the camp were able to make a lot of new friends and, at the same time, learn the importance of community service, Hartline said. The community service projects were added to the camp this summer and included working at the Boys Ranch and the Oklahoma City Zoo. “We tried to make the projects fun, and the kids seemed to really enjoy them,” Hartline said. Russell Kabir said the camp was terrific. He said if he had not attended, he probably would have spent the summer playing on his computer or in bed.
