This year, Unity Village Chapel is trying something new instead of our traditional summer camp. We are working on creating "Summer Family Fun" events and will email fliers with all the details as soon as we get them set on the calendar. We are trying out the new program this year to see what the response/feedback is. Please be sure to check back in with us next year to see if Summer Camp is scheduled.
