Dear Parents/Guardians:

We welcome all of our returning and new campers to our 2015 Summer Camp Programs. We are excited to embark on another summer of fun and learning.

Thank you for choosing one of the camps hosted at Westminster Christian Academy this summer. We look for-ward to getting to know your camper!
