Early Steps is “Going Green!”

Summer Camp 2015 Memories
“Summer camp was a wonderful experience this year! Summer camp is not just a few weeks strung together, but rather an experience to look forward to and memories to treasure after school starts again! With over 20 planned field trips and special in-house activities, students have learned academic and social skills that they can take with them. Campers also built positive relationships with both each other and our staff that will last a lifetime. Thank you for a great summer!”
