Do you want your kid to spend a summer day outdoors having a blast and then coming home exhausted? The next summer camp adventure registration closes Thursday and it is not yet full enough for the trip to happen.

Let’s get a full bus of swimmers to Lost Island Water Park on June 18th. Get your friends and register for Lost Island and all other trips at https://wbparks.recdesk.com/Community/Program.
