Heat forces some summer camps to change plans

On any given day the City of Raleigh can have 19,000 kids outside participating in camps.

The time spent outside will be during those slightly cooler periods, and time spent in the sun will be shortened.

Kids will also see more water breaks and time in the pool.

Camp counselors will start making adjustments based on what they see in 10-day forecast.
