And, you know, over the summer, there’s, they’re not going to school like they normally do, so they it’s either sit inside maybe and play video games, or come hang out with some friends, do some fun activities and connect with a caring adult,” said Emily Burnside, Chief Operating Officer at the Boys and Girls Club of the Northland.
