2010 Summer
Camps…All About Fun
It is
almost time for summer camps. The 2010 summer will offer new camps,
new activities and more opportunities to meet new friends and enjoy
new things. Take a look at this year’s camps and decide when you
want to join us!
We will
work with you and your budget again this year. We will be filing
paperwork with CCRS again to help defray summer camp costs to those
that qualify. Please speak with Sherry at the office to get your
paperwork started early. CCRS will only pay for camps after you have
been approved so early paperwork filing is a must.
Summer
camps will begin June 7th and run each week ending on the 13th of
August. Camps will begin at 8:30 in the morning and end at 3:15 in
the afternoon. Children ages 5 thru 11 are invited to attend. The
camp schedule allows children to sign up by the week for camps they
are especially interested in or they may sign up for all of the
camps, which is a total of 10 weeks this year.
