Rep. Brian Ashe to Speak to Campers at Springfield Together's Summer Camp
The state representative will visit Blunt Park on Wednesday, August 12,

week of summer.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — August 11, 2026 — State Representative Brian Ashe will
visit Springfield Together Camp on Wednesday, August 12 to speak briefly with
the local young people who filled its final summer session — a program made
possible by a state budget allocation he secured.

The visit takes place at 1:30 p.m. at Blunt Park's John H. Thomas Memorial
Pool on Roosevelt Avenue, during the camp's final week of the summer.
Representative Ashe will be joined by Representative Bud Williams and other
members of the Springfield delegation, and will offer brief remarks to the
campers.

Springfield Together Camp gives Springfield youth a summer of recreation and
hands-on leadership development close to home. Earlier this summer, the
delegation presented Springfield Together with a $50,000 Commonwealth of
Massachusetts allocation earmarked for community program support — funding
that underwrote the camp and its programming.

Run in partnership with Strong Young Minds, the camp pairs everyday summer fun
with mentorship aimed at building confidence and leadership. Organizers say the
program has left a lasting impact, teaching participants skills they carry back
into the school year and their neighborhoods.
