CALLING ALL CAMPERS!

I'm so excited! I just received my dates and locations for summer camp and I hope you'll join me. If someone says, "What do you want for Christmas?" now you have something special to ask for. Summer Camp is two days and besides all the friends you'll make there will be games, crafts, songs, and FUN! Seriously, it will be a blast, but we'll also explore how to take those standards and turn them into something playful, planful, and purposeful!
