SUMMER
2010
BRING A FRIEND AND SAVE 10% ON FIRST CHILD'S TUITION THROUGH MAY!
TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED TO/FROM WHITE SALMON & THE DALLES!
We
are excited to announce our 2010 Summer Program.
We have an amazing series of mini-camps planned
for children of all ages. Toddlers, Preschoolers,
Kindergarteners, and School-Age children are
all welcome to join us for a dynamic summer
packed with age-appropriate activities.
Each week will look a little different as we
are fortunate to have an extensive line-up
of professionals from the community visiting
to share their knowledge and skills with your
children. We are committed to offering a dynamic
balance between the carefree fun kids look
forward to in the summer with the ongoing learning
and sparking of curiosity that parents want
for their children.
School-Age campers will have their own
program with more advanced activities.
Below is a general
outline of the focal point of each week.
There will be multiple off-site fieldtrips
for older
children every week. Please note that while
the Toddler and Preschool programs will be
influenced by the themes of the week, their
programs will be separate.
