The Woodfin Summer Camp was originally organized and maintained by the town's community center. When the center could no longer support the program, the Town of Woodfin stepped in and footed the entire bill.
For six weeks during the summer, kids aged 5-12 are eligible to enroll in the camp. The town takes the kids to the movies, to the pool and supervises various other activities, all free of charge.
Mayor Pro-tem Geneva Maney, a former teacher herself, has been a key figure in the town's "youth movement." Maney orchestrated the meetings between a group of teenagers and Mayor Jerry VeHaun which led to the approval of a skate park at South Woodfin Park.
Maney is regularly challenging the Woodfin Board of Alderman to find ways to engage the children of Woodfin. The town is responding favorably, and that bodes well for the future of Woodfin.
