RBCTC SUMMER CAMP OPPORTUNITIES
We all know that schools are not open due to Covid-19. Because we feel strongly that middle school students need to continue to explore all the different ways to think about their futures and have fun working with their hands, we are offering our River Bend Summer Tech Camp in an AT Home format. This is for grades 5, 6, and 7. The cost is $25.00 for 5 days of lessons.
