Week one of Summer Adventure Camp is in the books and we are primed for another GREAT summer! 🌞
Our members spent the week reading, building, competing, and creating. From summer reading challenges and K'Nex builds to ping pong, foosball, basketball and dodgeball on the court, there was something for everyone and plenty of fun for all. To cap it off, our teens wrapped up the week as guests of the Greenwood Rotary Club at a local baseball game. ⚾💙
Such a GREAT start to another summer full of friends, fun and adventure! There is still time to register: portal.begreatacademy.com.
