The ACSCA is holding two one-week camps this summer. The first is 6/21-25 at Wiles Elementary and the second is 7/19-23 at Chiles Elementary. Sign up now and put these on your summer schedule. You may sign up for either one or both. The camps are not duplicates of one another and many kids will be at both of them. We also plan to add an organized athletic component so that the campers will get their share of exercise and learn some skills in tennis, basketball, soccer, etc.
