On a day that should have been filled with summer fun, a 6-year-old boy’s life was cut short in a devastating drowning incident at Liberty Lake Day Camp in Mansfield Township, New Jersey. This tragedy should never have happened and highlights the urgent need for stronger child safety protocols, proper supervision, and preventative measures to keep children safe while swimming at summer camp.
Six-year-old Michael Stewart, a rising first-grade student at Lumberton School District, was attending Liberty Lake Day Camp as part of a program for students with special needs. Reports indicate that despite the presence of lifeguards and an assigned adult advocate, Michael was found unresponsive in a shallow pool during the camp’s afternoon swim period. Michael was transported to Virtua Hospital in Mount Holly where sadly he later died. Michael’s tragic death has left a community in mourning, prompting a wave of support for the Stewart family in their time of grief. The Lumberton Police Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 201 has set up a GoFundMe for the family, and the Lumberton School District will host a lemonade stand fundraiser at the Old Fire House on Main Street on Saturday, June 29th.
