With Bellevue School District teachers on strike, the city is keeping the doors open at the South Bellevue Community Center for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue's expanded child care day camp starting Tuesday.

If the strike continues, the city will open day camps for children at two other community centers on Thursday. Parents must register their children.

Parents can register online for the Parks day camps at http://www.bellevuewa.gov/parks_homepage.htm, starting Wednesday, or in person at City Hall or any of Bellevue's community centers. Children cannot be registered by phone.

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue's expanded day camp will be open at South Bellevue Community Center, 14509 S.E.
