The Barrett Park summer camp hosted its annual Carnival Day on Aug. 5. Many parents came down to the park and joined their children for the morning’s festivities.

A favorite activity for children was trying to knock their counselors into the dunk tank. There was also a sponge toss, bounce castle, ring toss, face painting, water pong, slip and slide and fortune telling — a new event this year.

The summer camp closes for the season this Friday.
