Calling all Geckos! Are you ready to start your summer off having fun and learning with our fabulous teachers? CAMP GECKO is back! We will be hosting 2 sessions of camp, June 1-5 and June 8-12. Camp will be in session from 9am-3pm with options for early drop-off (7:30AM-9AM) and late pick-up (3PM-5:30PM).
If your child is interested, please complete the payment and sign up for their top 3 options for sessions 1 & 2 here: https://gullett.myschoolcentral.com. We will need to make sure a camp session fills, and we will select students by a lottery if there are more students that are interested in a session than the camp can allow. The Sign Up closes on March 27th. We will notify you of the session(s) your child can be enrolled in and you will be sent information from camp leaders in May.
