Camtown Youth Festival Cancelled 2025.

After careful consideration to a number of changes in motion, it has been decided to cancel this year’s Camtown Youth Festival, which would have been held on Saturday, June 7 at Dorothy Fox Elementary School.   We know many of you look forward to this event and we will miss your participation this year at one of our favorite community events! 

At this time, Parks & Recreation is in the midst of substantial, but positive changes.  We are in the process of hiring a new Parks & Recreation Director; Crown Park, our most popular events locale, remains under renovation; and Krista Bashaw, our current Special Events Coordinator, will be retiring after 30 years of service, leaving the City in mid-May.  The new Director will be part of recruiting and hiring for the Recreation Coordinator/Special Events position.   Not yet having a new Coordinator in place puts that person and the Camtown event at a disadvantage.  Time and training are needed to produce the active and detailed event that our community is used to and enjoys. 

Renovations at Crown Park, Camtown’s historic event site, should be complete by Fall/Winter of 2025.  We anticipate that Camtown will return here, with a new layout, in June 2026.  We hope you can join us then.
