Kids enjoy playing in the Banneker Community Center.
With the weather reaching triple digits people around town are finding ways to stay inside to stay out of the heat.
The Banneker Community Center in Monroe County offers free summer programming for kids. Program Specialist Will Rose says the department has about 70 children per day, and they plan several activities to keep the kids cool during their time at the center.
“Our family resource center is a really good place for parents and families who have infants and toddlers,” Rose says. “With our larger camp we try to stay out of the heat, but with having so many of the kids we do have to go outside, such as we have lunch outside and go to the pool every day, which is fun even if it’s hot it’s still fun.”
The temperature over the weekend is expected to reach 101.
