summer swimming under the sun!

American Sign Language, coding, cheerleading, kickboxing, fencing, Jeopardy tournaments, cooking, jewlery

training by our lead camp counselors that will ready them for potential employment at summer camps in
the future. This is a great resume builder for high school students.
