Summer Camp in the Hill – 2016
It’s time to sign up for Summer Camps! They are a great way to provide our children with enriching activities that keep them learning and entertained all summer long!
We are very fortunate in our community to have many summer camp options for all ages, and thankfully, it’s not too late to sign your kids up! Mid-February is usually when area camps begin registration, and spaces are already filling up, so be sure to register soon. Here is a list of some of the many summer camps available in the area this Summer, 2016. This is not a comprehensive list, but it will definitely get you started. Information is subject to change. Please check the specific camp web site for program descriptions and registration information.
If you would like to add a local summer camp to the list, please email: info@chapelhillrecorder.com.
Please Note: Camps with an (*) before the name are ones The Chapel Hill Recorder can personally recommend because my daughter “Zoomer” attended them and loved them!
