Parents News & Notes Summer 2010

Welcome to Pumpkin Patch Summer Camp 2010!!! Our camp will run from Monday June 28th to Thursday August 26th. This year we will be celebrating everything AMERICAN!

In July, campers will celebrate “The American Spirit” as they discover people, places and things which define America! During August, campers will enjoy a month filled with “All American F-U-N!” Special guests, field trips, daily water play (weather permitting), and organized sports will be offered as part of your child’s summer program. School-age children will be invited to join clubs of their choice, ie: Reading Club, Game Club, Cooking Club, etc. So make sure to put on your red, white and blue and join us in the festivities!
