Bamberg County Announces Low-Cost Spring Break Camp April 6-9 for Ages 8-12

Bamberg County Government announced a low-cost Spring Break Camp for local children ages 8–12 that will run April 6–9, 2026. The county release says the program is being hosted by SC State 1890 Research & Extension together with 4-H and describes the offering as "low-cost," but it did not include a dollar amount, daily hours, or a contact for registration.

The county announcement lists the venue only as "Bamberg County Family & Commu" and does not provide a full facility name or an address. A registration deadline of March 27 is noted in the announcement title provided to this newsroom; the county text itself did not include registration instructions, a signup link, or a phone number for caregivers to enroll children.

Separate youth programming is scheduled in the same spring period from a different organizer. A Facebook post for IMPowered Minds reads: "Spring Break 2026 ✨ ⏰Join IMPowered Minds March 18–19 from 10AM–3PM for two days of hands-on learning, fishing, and leadership development for youth ages 8+." That March 18–19 offering lists daily hours of 10AM–3PM and targets "youth ages 8+," indicating a broader upper age bound than the county camp; the Facebook post does not provide a location, cost, or registration link in the snippet provided.

Local education governance around youth activities is also active: "The Board of Trustees of Bamberg County School District will hold a special called virtual meeting on Monday, December 8, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. via the Bamberg County School District YouTube page," the school district notice states. The board agenda item includes a request for an out-of-state/overnight trip listed verbatim as "BEHS Culinary ProStart Team – International Culinary Institute Bootcamp Competition – Myrtle Beach, SC – January 8, 2026-January 9, 2026 (Kathy Summers, Culinary Arts Instructor)," which underscores the district's concurrent calendar of youth programs. The district page carries the tagline "Empowering Every Child, Every Day."

Key operational details remain unreported for the county camp: the full venue name and address, fee amount or sliding-scale information beyond the "low-cost" label, daily schedule and staff or counselor ratios, and the formal registration process. County officials, SC State 1890 Research & Extension, 4-H coordinators, and IMPowered Minds were not quoted in the materials provided; the announcement text and the Facebook post are the only verbatim program descriptions available. The county release did state dates and hosts, but caregivers seeking to enroll children ages 8–12 for April 6–9 will need the county to publish registration steps, location details, and fee information before the March 27 deadline cited in the announcement title.
