Greetings!

Tomorrow marks the official end of a very successful summer camp season. Because of your interest in Chaminade Julienne, we were able to accommodate more families and expand areas of our programming in 2012.

Advancements this summer included:

Adding three new camps -- baseball, plus boys and girls lacrosse -- in addition to an extra session of our popular CJ STEMM Gateway Academy.
Hosting tennis camp on campus for the first time ever at the new Eagle Tennis Center.
Receiving a total of more than 450 registrants, for a 30 percent increase in participation from last summer.
Unveiling a new user-friendly online registration option for added convenience.

Thank you. We could not have done it without your continued support and help in spreading the word. If you have a suggestion for improving our camps again next summer, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Sincerely,

Brett Chmiel, Admissions Coordinator
