Easton's Mayor Sal Panto
Posted by: Noël Jones
Mayor Sal Panto announced today that the Mayor’s Summer Youth Camp will be held from Monday July 11th to Thursday July 14th. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday hours will be from 9:00 AM to 4:00 pm and Wednesday will be from noon to 7:30 pm. The purpose of the camp is to allow hands-on experience into the day-to-day operations of a city.
Students will attend various seminars, tour city facilities, take a historic walking tour of the city and work side by side with the Mayor. Each participant will formulate a piece of legislation and present it to Easton City Council on Wednesday evening where parents and relatives will be invited to the proceedings.
Students must be between the ages of 13 and 18 to attend. Applications are available at the Mayor’s Office in City Hall, and the guidance offices at Easton Area High School, Wilson Area High School and Notre Dame High School. Students do not have to be residents of the city.

Great opportunity for young people. My son participated about two years ago and learned a lot. He is now active in the community. My younger son is considering it.
Bringing education back into the community - yea!
I hope parents will jump on this opportunity for their teens...not sure if there's a limit on the number of kids that can participate...
Great idea Sal. My daughter is going to sign up. We need more activities like this to let young people feel like they are a part of this city. We need to stop the brain drain from the Lehigh Valley.
Excellent idea and I am so happy that the mayor is accepting applications from young people in the Easton area and not just the city.
You are so fortunate to have him as your Mayor.
