CALLING ALL CAMPERS!

School is over or it’s winding down and you finally have a minute to breath and think about what you want to do for YOU this summer. If you want to sing, dance, make things, and meet new friends, you’ll love my Summer Camp. I often tell people it’s like a revival because “believers” who think teaching and learning should be JOYFUL are the ones who attend. I promise you’ll be excited about starting the new school year because you will leave with TONS of activities you can use all year long to make those standards more FUN for your students.
                          
Where and when?
