SHARE SUMMER ACTIVITIES!

☀️ Camps • Clinics • Classes • Workshops • Volunteer Opportunities

Have a summer activity for rising 7th, 8th, or 9th graders?

Send me a graphic and the details, and I’ll be happy to share it with our families this weekend/next week.

Programs do not need to be Council Rock affiliated, but should be reasonably local or offer a unique opportunity for a special interest group.

📩 Message me with details and flyers
