Summer
is coming and the time to think about where and what your children will
be doing is now. Summertime means camp-time for many kids. Taking to the
ball fields, or jumping in the clear water of the nearest swimming pool
is just one of the many activities your children can enjoy this summer.
The Towne Lake area has camps of every shape and size to fit your needs.
The TowneLaker will run this information again in the May issue
as additional camp listings become available.
