Final Week of Camp

Week #11 does begin the final week of camp. What a great summer it has been and we have thoroughly enjoyed having your child here at Charley Taylor.

Our final camp field trip will be to Joe Pool Lake at our Lynn Creek Park. More details will be shared about the activities for that day along with times when we will be there.

As with the final week, your child might have left personal belongings somewhere in the building...please take time this week to check through lost and found. Everything left over will be donated to goodwill.

Camp officially closes at 6:00pm on Friday, August 21st along with the Summer Lunch Program.

We would really like to hear from you this next week on your experience with the camp as a whole.
