Session 4 - Hollywood Magic

Wow! What a great week we had last week. The weather really turned in our favor and gave us two of the best weather days of the year. However, looking forward to session 4 and session 5 there will be a project taking place at Chapman Elementary School.
The school, in conjunction with the Cheshire Board of Education, will be carrying out one of their scheduled projects for the summer and will be doing an asbestos abatement in one of the classrooms. What this means for us is that we will not be able to use the building starting on July 16th until July 22nd. The project should only take a couple of days and we should be able to use the school early in the week of session 5. We will be ale to use the refrigerators in the school, however no campers will be allowed in the building. We have talked with church across the street and they will let us use their building in case of inclement weather and we already have extra outdoor bathrooms for all of our campers.
Session 4 also marks our first family night of the year! On Wednesday all families are invited to YMCA Camp Quinnipiac for a cook out and some family fun. The camp staff will cook for all of the families and there will also be skits performed by the campers for all of the families. Family night will start right around 6pm and will be over by about 8pm. The camp staff and I are looking forward to seeing you there!
If you have any questions please feel free to ask me. My office will be the portable trailer just in front of Chapman School. Kelly and I will be more than happy to answer any questions that you might have! My number at YMCA Camp Quinnipiac is (203) 271-1982. If you have any questions please see either Kelly or myself in the office.
