[RP TownTalk] Summer Camp opportunity in our backyard, litterally.

Wed Jun 16 12:01:25 UTC 2010

Dear Neighbors,

We have this incredible opportunity offered - unfortunately - at the last minute.
While currently, pick up is being offered at Greenbelt Park at 8am, the van driving the campers will actually pull off from my house on Somerset Road around 7:30am.
There are still spots open for the first session on Monday and I want to fill it. We cannot let such a wonderful opportunity pass up some deserving kid. I also want to add that I am being flexible with the age groups.

Additionally, if you know a community leader in the Langley Park area, please let me know.
My contact: AZuk at LivingClassroomsdc.org - cell:301-704-6612

Please, forward to other neighborhood list-serves. Thanks! Anne

this camp at the incredible price of $50 per 1 week session, a camp 
which normally costs over $400!

June 21 and we are currently eager to recruit campers for this incredible opportunity which just became available. Please contact us quickly as we expect the available spots

one of the top 10 most visited National Parks in the United States - and an exclusive look into the history of the natural environment and its 
evolution since the settlers first set foot on this continent. With 
activities ranging from rock climbing, mountain biking, canoing, tubing 
and more, campers will be introduced to topics such as geology, history, biology, etc... They will explore the area and perform water quality 
testing, compare various bodies of water to observations in changes in 
biodiversity, compare wild vs farmed,  and many more activities that
