Mini-Camps are a SUCCESS!!

Families of Upper Nashwaak (F.U.N.) is a not-for-profit organization run by a volunteer board of directors. Dedicated to providing affordable programming for children and their families, F.U.N. has developed a NEW and EXCITING line up for the summer. 4 day mini camps, varying in theme and age will return for eight weeks of summer. You pick the week / weeks that suit your child's interests and your family's schedule. Each camp has a small fee of $10 / child for 4 days of great F.U.N.


Each camp will be organized and supervised by an adult volunteer. 3 students will be on hand to assist this on-site coordinator. Each camper must bring their own snack and lunch for the day, along with plenty of water!


Registration took place in the Stanley School lobby on Sunday June 7th. Some camps are full but there are a few spots left in others. Call Corinne @ 367-2680 or comment below the blog post of your camp of choice to get your child's name registered before it's too late or to be placed on the waiting list. Someone will confirm if space is available.


ALSO in order to be eligible to receive a discount to be applied to the registration fee for Go-Go gymnastics it is necessary to be registered as a participant in some of our fundraising activities.

Hope to see you there!!
