| GKC Summer Camp - July 21 thru July 25, 2008 - This Camp is now Full | |||||||||||||||
If you are looking for a unique experience for your child, GKC Summer Camp is a must. Our camps pack a whole host of unique, challenging, enjoyable, educational, and exciting activities. That's why we often hear from our attendees that "it is the best camp ever." Not only that, but because Sensei Michelle and Sensei Paul oversee each activity personally, the attendees feel secure and safe. As one attendee stated recently after attending the 2007 camp "...this is the best camp I've ever been to...everyone is friendly and polite and there are no bullies..." Camp enrollment is limited so reserve your spot early. See some activities and photos from the 2007 camp.
