Summer Camp

TCGP is pleased to present our Summer Camp, 2010:  Summer Around the World, a program created to provide a holistic, cultural experience for children.

About the 2010 Summer Camp

Summer Around the World is a half-day summer camp for children aged 2 1/2 to 8 years. Each camp is two weeks in length (six days). Children come to camp Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each week.

We look forward to sharing a wonderful adventure with your children as we explore the beautiful, diverse cultures of Europe and Latin America. The children will experience the beauty and spirit of Europe and Latin America in sight, smell, sound, taste and touch. Our journey will be brought to life through music, song & story, games, crafts and food. The camps are designed to build on one another; whether your child attends one, two or more camps, each camp stands on its own, providing an enriching cultural experience.

Use of ice packs in lunch boxes is especially recommended at this time of year.
