From Warren Township Schools: Summer Fun 2017 is in full swing in Warren Township Schools! With such course offerings as “Discover Science,” “Cooks with Books,” “Computer Graphics and Design,” and “School of Rock,” the K-8 summer camp offered by the Warren Township School District is always a popular place to be.

“Our amazing program is bigger and better than ever,” says Summer Fun principal Meryl Lettire. “We have over 350 participants enrolled so far and we’re still growing. So many exciting things have been going on in our first week… from rocket launches, dance, music and acting performances to whacky dodgeball games and science experiments.”

“School of Rock” with music teacher Karen Sutherland is always a popular choice at Summer Fun 2017. From left, Sutherland, first graders Allie Fahs, Zoe Fahs, Alexa Law, Phoebe Kahana and 2nd grader Charlotte Manzo

“This year, we successfully launched our online registration process which has made signing up so much easier than ever before,” she adds. “At Summer Fun 2017, our campers get to change their schedules every week and try all of our classes which I think makes our program truly one of a kind.”
