SESSION V: April 18 - May 27, 2016 • SESSION VI: June 6 - July 15, 2016

COVER: 

The Lexington County Recreation & Aging Commission has 

4 summer day camps. We offer a variety of fun 

activities/games/arts & crafts/field trips/swimming throughout 

the summer months. 

We also offer an award-winning Counselor-in-Training (CIT) 

Program for rising 7th, 8th and 9th graders at the Lexington 

Leisure Center. Only former campers are eligible for this 

program. Potential candidates must submit an application, 

letters of recommendation, and interview with a Director. 

Once accepted into this program, CITs are trained to work 

with children in grades K5-4, volunteer at our 7 Senior 

Centers/Pets Inc., and travel locally/regionally on field trips 

twice a week. 

The cover shows our CITs at the Biltmore Estate and hiking 

Chimney Rock State Park last summer. The goal of this 

program is to prepare them to be counselors within the next 

few years. We are incredibly proud of what our CITs have 

accomplished in this program and are excited to see them 

grow into positive role models for our community!

Aging Department 

The overall goal of the seven Senior Centers of the 

Lexington County Recreation and Aging Commission is 

summarized in the motto, Privileged Ones Growing 

Older. Recognizing that it is a privilege to grow older, we 

strive to enhance the lives of the older adults in our 

population and to acknowledge and benefit from the 

numerous gifts those persons have to offer through their 

participation in our programs. 

Our Senior Centers offer a variety of programs and 

activities aimed at enhancing an older adult’s mental and 

physical wellness. Anyone who wishes to participate in 

our programs must be free of conditions requiring 

personal care assistance or personal supervision. Older 

adults are welcome to participate in the daily activities at 

the Centers. Call your local Center for age requirements, 

memberships, activity fees and program availability. 

For additional information call 356-5111.

LEXINGTON, S.C. 

(www.BigSouthSports.com) – Lexington 

County Recreation and Aging Commission 

(LCRAC) will host the 2016 Big South 

Conference Baseball Championship 

presented by Hardee’s May 24-28, it was 

announced today at a press conference at the 

Lexington County Baseball Stadium. The 

ballpark will serve as the host venue for the 

eight-team, double-elimination tournament 

that will determine the Big South’s automatic 

bid recipient to the NCAA Championship. 

LCRAC is the first-ever true neutral entity to host the Big South Baseball 

Championship, as the league’s postseason event had previously been hosted by the 

conference membership either on-campus or at a local facility within its local 

community. This new mutually beneficial arrangement gives the Big South 

Conference a neutral site for its tournament within the league’s footprint of Virginia, 

North Carolina and South Carolina, while providing a notable event with national 

coverage to Lexington County Ballpark before the Blowfish take the field for the
