Philadelphia ? A private suburban swim club accused of racism after it canceled the memberships of dozens of minority children says it will seek a meeting with the kids’ camps to work out an agreement for them to return.

Amy Goldman, a member of The Valley Club, said those able to attend a hastily called meeting Sunday afternoon voted unanimously in support of reinstating the memberships of the Creative Steps day camp and two other camps as long as safety issues, times and terms can be agreed upon.

The Creative Steps camp had arranged for 65 mostly black and Hispanic children to swim Mondays at the gated Huntingdon Valley club. But after the group arrived June 29, camp director Alethea Wright said, several children reported hearing racial comments, and some club members pulled their children out of the pool.

The camp’s $1,950 was refunded a few days later.

The president of the swim club’s board of directors, John Duesler, has said the initial decision was made out of safety considerations.
