Camp Registration

New Summer 2024- Diamondback Campers will take an off-campus field trip during week 5. Location TBD.

• Children will be supervised and will have the opportunity to participate in unstructured games and activities.

**Please note, late pick-ups after 5:30pm will result in a $10 late fee, plus a $2 per minute fee for every minute, that will be processed upon pick-up**
