Themes will include: June 12 - Bobcat sports; June 19 - mad scientist; June 26 - outdoor odyssey; July 10 - super heroes; July 17 - super soaked; July 24 - off the wall sports; July 31 - hidden treasures; Aug. 7 - ultimate survivors. (There is no camp the week of July 4.)

Early registration is available until April 14 and will cost $130 per week, per child. After April 14, registration will cost $140 per week, per child. All payments are due at registration. Each child will receive one T-shirt and one cinch-bag as part of registration costs.
