2023 Summer Camp Directory

The Sally Manzara Interpretive Nature Center was founded by husband and wife, Tony Manzara and Connie Kirk, and named for Tony’s first wife Sally, who passed away in 2015, and who first had the idea to build the center when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Located in Lake Elmo, the SMINC is open seven days a week, regularly runs educational nature programming and hosts a series of day camps in the summer.

County board revises ARPA expenditures

The Washington County Board of Commissioners has revised how the county will spend its American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. The county board has elected to direct the money to needed housing support services.

The most recent revisions include a decrease to the county emergency/transitional housing capital project from $8 million to $7 million, which will allow the money to fund an increase in two other projects. The housing outreach team supervision project will increase by $150,000 to extend the term of the current staff to the end of 2024. The transitional/emergency housing project will increase by $850,000 due to the continued need for temporary hotel sheltering, until a permanent option is developed. The increase will also fund a housing manager to prioritize and focus on the emergency/transitional ARPA housing projects. This position will allow the county to streamline housing and homeless services and increase the coordination across service providers.

County will collect household hazardous waste, electronics

Washington County will conduct a one-day household hazardous waste and electronics collection from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 6, in Forest Lake. The collection will be at the Forest Lake Transit Center, 19987 Fitzgerald Trail N., Forest Lake. One-day collections bring the services offered at the Washington County Environmental Center closer to residents, making it more convenient and practical for them to recycle and dispose their electronics and household hazardous waste. Confidential document shredding will be available at the event.
