Gov. Hobbs changes up free summer programs, organizations pivot to new changes

Just weeks before school lets out, Governor Katie Hobbs is stopping a free summer program for students. However, another program will take its place. About 70,000 Arizona school children went to summer camps for free last year because of Governor Doug Ducey’s AZ On Track Program. Many organizations took part in it, including the Boys and Girls Club of the Valley and the Valley of the Sun YMCAs. The program was meant to help students get back on track after pandemic setbacks.
