May 2011 Camp e-News

Will your children be among the 10 million who attend camp this summer? Camp is a critical part of the development of the whole child, providing hands on lessons in life skills needed to become successful, contributing adults — skills such as leadership, teamwork, an appreciation for nature, a greater understanding of the world around them, and so much more. The American Camp Association® (ACA) welcomes the opportunity to help you find the perfect camp for your children. It’s not too late.
