Parents…
We think you’ll like our format of 9:00 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 9:00 a.m.-noon on Thursday, July 19-22, with Family Night on Thursday evening.
• A light lunch will be provided for your children Monday through Wednesday
• This gives you more time to do fun stuff while your child is at camp.
• This means you wear your “chauffeur” cap for four days instead of five.
• Family Night on Thursday evening means you can still get away for the weekend if you want without missing Family Night.
