The beginning of summer vacation for Bulloch County school kids also means the beginning of the Statesboro Bulloch County Parks and Recreation Department’s summer camp program. Statesboro began offering summer camps in 1969 with Camp Cherokee. Now in its 41st year, the program serves about 150 children each week and includes three camps, Joy Deal, Program Supervisor, said.
