MONARCH SUMMER CAMP 2007

A warm greeting to all former and new Monarch Campers. Monarch Day Camp will not be held this summer (2007) due to our Gymnasium Complex Construction Project.  We will re-open camp in the summer of 2008.  We hope to see you all again in 2008.  When we re-open, Monarch Camp will be better than ever.  We will have a pool facility that is over two and a half times larger than our former facility. There will be twice as many diving boards and a lot more shallow water for lessons and water play activities.  There will be new and renovated gymnasium facilities that include a 30-foot high rock-climbing wall equipped with automatic belaying devices.  We invite you to come to our open house in Spring, 2008 to see our new exciting facilities.

We will conduct two Adventure Camps this summer (2007):
