What are summer camp Clubs?
For second graders and above, our summer camp offers a range of elective activities called "Clubs" that give children more ownership of their schedule and allow campers to develop their own special talents.
Summer Camp Clubs
In the afternoon, campers entering second grade and older participate in clubs.
