During the summer months the Center offers a summer camp program for our school age children to provide full day care.  During the summer our teachers plan several field trips to get the students out and about in the area to explore our community.  We also plan multiple activities within the Center, such as special visitors, bounce houses, petting zoos, etc.  Summer Camp schedules are available on a full and part time basis.  The children also get plenty of time for enjoying the summer with outdoor play and various arts and crafts activities.
