SESSION 2

A Note from Your Camp Director

Welcome to Session 2 of Pee Wee Camp! Our Pee Wee Camp team is extremely excited to meet our campers and their families. We have an engaging and active summer planned with your future Kindergartners and 1st graders that we know they are going to love. I have provided a few friendly reminders to help prepare for the summer. Please make sure you have completed your child's Epact. Your child will not be allowed to attend camp until this is completed. You received an email from EPACT with the email address that you registered with. Our second week is themed "Summer Safari" where campers will be engaging in a variety of outdoor activities, animal and outdoor centers, and a field trip to Green Meadows Farm.

 If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to call Shauna Becker, Pee Wee Camp Director, or Anna Young, Pee Wee Camp Assistant Director, at (815 )355-6359 or email at sbecker@crystallakeparks.org
