As part of a program dubbed "Safe Summer 81' the city is providing 61 day camps for over 30,000 youths aged 6-15. The program, which .began June 8 and ends September 8, will allow Atlanta's youth to par-, ticipate in educational and recreational activities while under supervision. In an interview at her office, Atlanta Parks and Recreation Commissioner Oerrie Elder said thef pro gram was a direct result of the 28 missing and murdered children and young adults in the Atlan ta area. "This program is not a permanent one. We are responding to a rrUU." she said. "I Ms. Elder said the Safe Summer program was comprised of four phases:. Instructional, r t cultural. special activity, and team r4 . 7:30 p.m. so working parents can take advantage- of ' the -program.

Cornwallis Rd. Durham, N.C. the final Dhase would con sist of heavily supervised activities such as golf tour naments'. "These camps will not just perform a babysitting function, they will be an educational and recrea tional experience. An ex ample of this, she said, was the cultural phase where the youths will get to perform their own drama production. Although the activities would be free to low in come youths, children from families who could pay would be expected to, said Ms. Elder. "We've always had some fee paying programs and children who can pay will be expected to do so," she said. The fees would primarily be used to pay for supplies used in the various arts and crafts programs, she added. Safe Summer camps operate from 7:30 a.m. to . routes, she said Since much money is needed to operate such an extensive program, the Ci '. ty of Atlanta and Fulton and Dekalb counties asked the federal government for $1.2 million but receiv ed only $460,000 for all three areas. This left a shortfall of $300,000 overall and over $700,000 for the City of Atlanta. To help ease the money pro blem, the city gave the program $158,000 and, Ms. Elder said the Atlanta Children's Foundation was expected to give a similar amount. The rest would come from private donations. Because the program was borne out of crisis, the program's 250 employees , were screened rigorously.

Even if the crisis ends, Ms. Elder said she believes the program will be a suc cess. "Parents are still go ing to want their kids in supervised activities.
