Summer camp isn't exactly foremost on my mind this cold February day. But it is time to start signing up for many summer camp programs already (yes, already).
Parents, you need to get planning.
If you are looking for a fun, quality summer camp program for your child, I have a fabulous opportunity to tell you about. Thanks to a very generous grant from HSBC-North
America, 30 kids are going to be able to attend Conservation Camp at the Lincoln Park Zoo for one week for FREE. That's right, free summer camp. Here are the details.
If your summer camp budget is small this year (as it is for many, many families), I encourage you to fill out an
application for the scholarship program.
This summer, Conservation Campers will be
entertained with amazing animals, fun & creative projects and of
course great friends. All children
grades 1-8 are encouraged to apply. But hurry up and get your application in -- only 30 one-week scholarships are available.
Scholarship applications are due to the zoo no later than
February 13, 2010. Recipients of the awards will be notified by phone
or e-mail on February 19th, 2010.
Register for Conservation Camp or learn more about the scholarship application process online http://www.lpzoo.org/edu_programs_camps.php or call the Lincoln Park Zoo Education Office at 312-742-2056.
