Summer camp dates are July 8-12, open to children entering grades first through eighth in the fall.

According to a press release announcing the details of this year’s camp experience, each day participants will experience activities such as chemistry experiments, robots, rockets and a planetarium from the McWane Science Center on the Move.

Healthy snacks will be provided daily, and each camper will receive a camp T-shirt.

Children are to arrive promptly at 8 a.m. in the Patriot Center gym on the Shoals campus. Each day’s events will conclude at noon.
