Subject: Woods Summer Wonders Camps for Kids: registration opening soon
Summer camps are in the works!
Below are the proposed camps that I’m offering through Woods Charter School’s Summer Wonders Program. The last few years I’ve offered 3 half-day camps. This year, I’m offering 6 (5 sewing and 1 craft/jewelry making)! I believe registration will open around mid February, so if you want a spot, grab them quick! Go to http://woodssummerwonders.
