Summer's Just Around The Corner, Time To Register For Camp

CLEARWATER, FL -- Summer is just around the corner and it's time to start thinking about summer camps for children.

Clearwater will open registration for its summer camps for kids of all ages Thursday, March 22.

Each week summer campers will enjoy a variety of activities including field trips, games, guest speakers and creative craft projects. Additionally, each week a different positive character trait will be discussed and celebrated.

For $100 or less per week, campers receive all field trips, supplies, a T-shirt and 50 hours of activities.

Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County-sponsored camps are only $30 for the summer and provide campers with all of the above plus lunch through the summer lunch program.
