More than 1 event should be of interest to you

Article Source: City of San Bruno CA

The City of San Bruno Recreation Division is proud to welcome campers to enjoy a week or an entire summer of fun in a beautiful environment. Sending a child to a summer day camp program is a tremendous act of faith by parents. We take that responsibility very seriously, and maintain an environment that encourages safety and health. During the summer day camp program, our participants learn new things, build character, challenge themselves at new activities, make new friends, and create life-long memories. Our Recreation Leaders guide the campers through activities such as swimming, hiking, arts & crafts, sports, games, cooking projects, special events, field trips, and more!

Camp is still available in one-week sessions, over the course of ten weeks. Program activities, field trips, and transportation are included in the cost. See the attached information for camp fees, specific dates and times. You may register in person, fax or mail in your registration form or for your convenience, you may register online as well.

Studies show that children who are reluctant to read in front of peers because of their skills are much less anxious with an animal present. Dogs offer unconditional love: they are not intimidating or judgmental. They are the perfect reading companion. Just drop in!
