Get Local!
Grow, Create, Share -Summer Camp 2020
*Exploring music, art, science and more through local connections*
And because we all have the " Homeschool Blues" by award winning musician and camp guest, Bobby Blackhat Walters!
Our camp will take on a Get Local theme this year.
Through outdoor field trips to local destinations in and around Williamsburg, we'll be meeting with inspiring members of our local community who will share their passion for their specialty area: music, art, farming, science and more...
This is an opportunity to make safe, meaningful connections during this unique time.
Come Get Local with us!
Each camper and his/her adult chaperone must agree to follow all state of Virginia COVID-19 guidelines.
We have openings for Session 3, August 3, 5, and 6. Please e-mail or call if you have questions.
