GO Green Camp

10 a.m. – Noon each day
This free 3-day camp, hosted by the library’s GO Green Club,
will be held at the library in June for children entering Grades 3
through 5 in the fall. A different “green” topic will be the focus of
discussion and fun activities each day.
The club is looking for high school volunteers to help each
day of the camp. This is an excellent way for teens to earn some
community service hours!
