Orwell Summer Day Camp is a go!
Our grant application was successful and we are moving ahead with plans for a 4 week (4 separate weeks) camp for Orwell and Benson children.
This Day camp is free and will be from 9am-2pm in the fields and forests around Orwell Village School. All current students or local children, up to grade 6, of Orwell and Benson are eligible to participate, ie rising 1st graders through rising 6th graders. We welcome homeschool families and new to town families, as well! The themes to choose from are The Great Outdoors, Art, Music, and Movement, S.T.E.M. Discovery, and Games, Games, Games. Children can attend one, or more if there is room, weeks of camp. Bagged lunch from Slate Valley UUD and snacks are provided. There will be three adult staff and up to 18 children per week. Teen interns will also be on staff.
