This just dropped! Five exciting free camps for children this Spring at select San Diego Public Libraries. *Registration is required for enrollment. In the past, my own son has participated in free camps at San Diego Public Libraries, and they were all positive experiences with opportunities for growth, and socialization. I highly recommend registering your child in SDPL Camps!
