SUMMER CAMP EXTRAVAGANZA
The
Laurel PTO is pleased to present you with this second package of
information provided by many of the summer camps in the area.
Many camps had not yet published their schedules in February, so we are
sending this second mailing. Camps from the original mailing are
included again, and the ones that have been added are designated "New!"
This
email is an supplement to the weekly newsletters and goes to the Laurel
and Encinal newsletter mailing lists. We hope this will help you
in your summer planning. You will not find camp information in the
weekly newsletter - it's all here in this Summer Camp
Extravaganza! Please note that the Encinal PTO and the Laurel PTO
do not sponsor or endorse any of the organizations listed below. If you
have questions about the camps, please contact a camp representative
directly.
