Central Private is hosting a Kidcam Summer Camp Program this summer! Kidcam is celebrating 36 years of successful summer day camps ! The Kidcam Summer Camp helps to raise funds for our school! Please consider Kidcam in your summer plans!
Kidcam is an activity-based camp with lots of activities for campers! Every week, campers will swim, go on a field trip, create arts/crafts, play games, splash at the bottom of a water slide, bounce on a giant inflatable and much more! Campers are divided by age and sometimes by gender as well. The camp will maintain a 10:1 ratio of camper to staff. Campers can register by the week, session or for the full summer to give lots of flexibility!
Kidcam is currently seeking counselors and adult leaders - apply online at www.kidcamcamps.com
Earn a free tee shirt in one of two ways....register early or refer a friend. Be sure you are registered before the end of March and you will qualify for a free tee shirt! You can earn a second free shirt by referring a friend who does not attend Central Private. This person will have to inform Kidcam of your name and where you attend school - your friend will get a free tee shirt, too! (of course, they must register!)

Please - tell your neighbors, friends and family to come to Summer Camp at Central Private! Summer Rocks with Kidcam! Register online now at www.kidcamcamps.com
