The program’s leadership includes Child Care Director Sonya Bussan, and the teachers are described as highly qualified, caring individuals. The mission of Galena ARC Summer Camp is to promote individual independence and cooperation, develop community cooperation in programs and activities that include arts/crafts, sports, and recreation for all ages, and create a friendly, respectful social environment based on self esteem, discipline, fairness, equality, and responsibility for the health, safety, and welfare of all, including family members, groups, and visitors. The organization states that together with volunteers and donors, the ARC has been the hub of the community, providing Galena with 50 years of art, sports, fitness, child care, and early education, and improving the lives of children and adults in the community. Families can choose every week of camp or only the weekly themes that interest their child, and parents can choose how many days per week their child attends.
