Join us for summer fun and learning in the full-day Camp Huckleberry for entering 1st -4th graders
Priority in camp is given to participants in the After-School Program who attended over 30 days during the school year. What is the reason? A 21st Century Community Learning Center grant funds both the After-School Programs and Summer Camps to offer year-round out-of school time learning and enrichment free for full-time Lopez youth. In these programs, regular attendance matters! Campers who attend regularly build routines, learn to support each other, cultivate lasting friendships, and grow in their ability to communicate. They show higher engagement, receive access to more resources, and have an overall more positive experience.
Full-time resident registration opens May 31st at 9PM
