The Summer Recreation programs are in the final stages of development. New Coding Camps and the return of the popular Mountain Biking camps are part of the summer 2018 schedule. Camp Namanu is back with the original format. Sandy residents can sign-up for day camps at the Camp Namanu campus along the Sandy River. Transportation will be provided from the Sandy Community Center.
Adult Coed Summer Softball schedule has been set and teams are forming. Once again we thank the school district for the use of the fields at the High School for the softball league.
