Camp Central |
Camp Central is a nonprofit organization offering summer camp to the children in our community. Most of our students are from low income families so we are offering summer camp at a very low price. Which is why volunteers for our program are needed. We are offering many time slots and a variety of opportunities. Students will be assisting children with work, going on field trips, sports activities, art activities, etc….. Not only will they be earning hours for graduation but they will have fun too!.
Please contact me with any questions at 954-661-6196 or drucindabonds@gmail.com.
