VANCOUVER — Evergreen Public Schools announces the opening of Camp Evergreen, providing free childcare for the community’s first responders and healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 crisis. 

Camp Evergreen will be located at Crestline Elementary School, 13003 SE 7th Street, in Vancouver. Beginning Tue., March 24, it will operate weekdays (Monday-Friday) from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., available for children 30 months through 12 years of age. The camp will be staffed by Evergreen Public Schools employees. 

“One of Governor Inslee’s directives was to ensure our First Responders and HealthCare professionals had reliable childcare. We want to make sure those who can best assist our community during the COVID-19 outbreak are able to do so, and we have the facilities and staff to make that happen,” said Evergreen Public Schools Superintendent Mike Merlino.
