Here is the schedule for this summer. Please check here often for schedule changes or updates. I will also post pictures and a summary of each outing. Besides the original sign-up form (please get them in ASAP or I will have to recruit other participants), I will need a standard emergency form for each child. I will try to send you this in pdf format via e-mail in a couple of weeks.
