We can't believe the last week of camp is here! Students have travelled the Kingdom this summer, and we are so glad that you chose to send them to the KESD Summer Camp. There is a lot to come this week from a bookfair, to field trips, a group of middle schoolers backpacking in the White Mountains, athletics bootcamp, and so much more!

Please take a moment to complete the quick survey below so that we can celebrate camp, and improve for years to come.

There will be a book fair in the Cafeteria Wednesday, August 2nd!
