Bring your children for our Funfair afternoon! Since our space is small, you will only need to come for about 20 minutes
during the 3-5pm time to participate in fun activities and pick up FREE school supplies! School-aged children MUST attend in order to get school supplies.

Our fall classes will begin the week of September 14th! We will send the schedule SOON and you will have the opportunity to sign up for classes and meet teachers during our Funfair event.

Today we learned about how bees build up honeycomb but also build up their families by having different roles while working all together! Can we help our moms and dads around the house? Can we be kind to our siblings even if they are being annoying sometimes? Can we grow in love and forgiveness? Yes we can!

We are having so much fun at camp! Yesterday we talked about BUILDING UP our character. That means who we are and what we do even when no one else is looking! It is choosing to do things like *putting toys away without being asked, *telling the truth even if you might get in trouble, *thinking kind things about others, and *turning in something valuable you found on the floor.

Join us tonight as we build on with our theme of BUILDING UP our family! We start at 5:30 in Captain TIlly Park (Highland Ave side)

No kids camp tonight because of the rain. We hope to see you on Tuesday at 5:30pm!
