PHILADELPHIA - Over 3,000 campers came to the Cobbs Creek Recreation Center, in West Philadelphia, Tuesday after the pandemic forced them to remain closed in 2020.
Makayla Muse Workman was one of the campers, and says she celebrated her 9th birthday Monday. She said she is celebrating all things summer camp, after a birthday celebration."This is Cobbs Creek, we love Cobbs Creek," she commented. "We do arts and crafts and we play games." City Councilmember Jamie Gauthier said the camp is a fantastic opportunity for children to reconnect with peers and role models, after the past year and a half of being nearly isolated.
