Ricki's Picks...

I have put together a list of local camps. Please know I do not sponsor or recommend one specific program. My goal is to provide you with opportunities and decrease the time you would have to spend in finding summer fun for your kids. Some of these may be good for your other kids, while others would be ideal for your child to attend before or after instruction. Good luck.
