Greetings!
A lot goes on in April: April Fools' Day, Earth Day, Arbor Day, Patriots' Day, Tax Day, World Health Day, Administrative Professionals Day, and, if you believe Wikipedia, it's National Manatee Awareness Month. At CTWBoston, we're looking forward to Creative Camper Week: Vacation Break icamp is next week, and we can't wait to share the enthusiasm of campers excited to explore, invent, and create an awesome Spring Break at the JCC. Vacation icamp is filled, but seats are still available in our summer camps: see the schedule below or call our Boston office at 617-395-7527 for more information.
