Looking for something fun to do this summer?
Can you believe it is already time to enroll for summer camp? As most of you already know, Outdoor Summer Camp Registration started on February 1st. Please know that Indoor Summer Camp Registration will begin Monday, February 22 at noon by downloading the forms from www.jcprdkids.com. As a reminder, all forms will have to be scanned into the Registration Office. The forms cannot be turned into our school sites. Locations for indoor camps has still not been determined as of now. Once we discover this information, I will make sure to email that information out to you. Please take advantage of signing up your children at your earliest convenience to earn a spot in our summer camps. They tend to fill up pretty quickly! If you have any questions regarding summer camps, the activities, etc. please feel free to ask. I would love to assist in any way.
