Summer 2021
For rising 1st - 4th graders. Note: Our 2021 camp sessions ended in August.
Time + Place
We held two sessions over the weeks of July 26 (last week of July) and August 2 (first week of August). Sessions were Monday through Thursday from 1-4:30 pm each day.
The camp was held in person.
"My three daughters, aged six to nine years old, LOVED this camp! They all had a wonderful time working on a variety of fun projects and were very well taken care of while doing so. Thanks to Audrey and Kathleen for their great work."
