neighborhood camp so they can stay connected with friends.<br />
This 8-week recreational and educational based camp is held<br />

kids ages 6–14. No camp held July 4–5.<br />
Campers will learn valuable skills from local experts on a<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> topics including cooking, money management,<br />

be complete without a few field trips, swimming, games,<br />
crafts, movies, and other fun recreational activities.<br />
Program Fees: A one-time registration fee <strong>of</strong> $10 per camper<br />
is required. The weekly cost varies by center and grant<br />

facility you would like your child to attend to schedule an<br />
appointment, complete the required paperwork and discuss<br />
scholarship eligibility.<br />
