Camp will begin at 9 a.m. in the East Dependency of the historic Schoolcraft House on Water Street, and conclude at 3 p.m.
Students finishing Grades 3 to 6 (ages 9-12) are invited to attend.
The cost for the week is $75, with some scholarships available.
The theme this year is the Maritime History of the area.
Flyers with more information will be handed out to all of our local upper elementary students in late April.
Camp activities are being coordinated by CCHS Board members and retired teachers, Patty Olsen and Ginny Cymbalist.
