At home!
Join us for our all-new Digital Camps! Camps will include a daily 1-hour educator-led program, curriculum for additional at-home activities, and a materials kit available for curbside pick-up at the SM&NC that contains needed materials for the week. 10 kids maximum for a small group experience. Available to campers ages 6 and up. Children from the same family may attend as one camper but will only receive one materials kit. Individual registrations from the same family will each receive a set of materials. Meeting and materials information will be sent the week before camp begins.
