Online Summer Camps
are Going Strong!
|
Your kids don't have to miss out on camp this summer.
We have some happy --
virtual
-- campers! Here's what one camper said when asked if there was anything they didn't like about online camp:
"Saying good-bye!"
If that's not an endorsement, we don't know what is.
Kids are making friends, creating art, and even "bringing" their pets to camp! After all -- it's virtual!

Parker Looks Up Storytime

At the young age of 2, a photo of Parker Curry went viral as she stood, mouth agape, in awe of Baltimore artist Amy Sherald's painting of Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery.
She and her mother created a children's book based on that moment, and they and will be interviewed this weekend as guests of Adventure Theatre MTC's Sunday Story Time,
