SUMMER CAMP
A summer camp program is offered during the summer months for children of all ages. The camp is built around weekly themes. Activities include various art projects, music activities, water fun, sports, stories, cooking, theater and field trips. A separate summer program fee is generally charged to help cover transportation cost. Throughout the summer there are usually three or four field trips per week. The children go on trips that help them learn about the world around them and then they come home and journal about all of their experiences. The trips range from museums, movies, nature trails and visits to local businesses to more extraordinary trips to the Imax and state zoo.
