Thus, the program will be offered from 7am to 6pm Monday through Friday. The charge will generally be $10 per day per child. Some of the themes will be: Wilderness Survival Week, Music Week, Natural History Week, Safety Week and so on. Many volunteers will be participating and offering their expertise on these subjects.
