What’s Inside<br />
It is hard to believe that we are less than<br />
10 weeks away from summer vacation.<br />
Every year we look <strong>for</strong>ward to this special<br />
double issue and this year is no different.<br />
This will be our ninth Summer Camp Fun<br />
issue featuring a comprehensive list of<br />
summer camps in South Florida and we<br />
hope that it will be a beneficial tool in your<br />
decision-making process. With the broad<br />
range of specialized camps and programs<br />
available, there is a unique opportunity to<br />
make summer a more personalized and<br />
tailored experience. Our goal is to help<br />
families find a camp or program that<br />
accommodates the needs, interests, goals, and<br />
expectations of both parents and campers.<br />
In order to continue to fulfill our promise<br />
Advertisers<br />
to serve you, we are taking our mission<br />
beyond print this year. Together with The<br />
Shops at Sunset Place, we will be hosting<br />
our first summer camp fair, a unique<br />
opportunity to meet with camp representatives<br />
directly and ask questions about their<br />
programs. Summer Camp Fun Expo & Job<br />
Fair was specifically designed <strong>for</strong> parents<br />
to have face-to-face time with summer<br />
programs. The fair will be held at The<br />
Shops at Sunset Place on April 14th from<br />
10:30 am to 3:00 pm.<br />
We thank you <strong>for</strong> the continued opportunity<br />
to serve you and our community.<br />
We rely on your feedback to be successful,<br />
