Summer camp opportunity

Looking for a summer camp opportunity for your child in third to eighth grade during the weeks of Aug. 6 to 19?

Consider having your youth apply for a chance to attend Camp Island Lake, located in the Pocono Mountains, Penn. Camp tuition is being provided at no-cost through a generous offer from the Camp Island Lake camp owners who wish to support the military by providing each of the military services spaces in the camp.

Parents are responsible for transportation to and from the camp or one of the bus pickup points in Queens, N.Y.; Paramus and Livingston, N.J.; Westchester County, in Philadelphia, and Newark Airport (for flying campers). 

***image1***C­amp Island Lake offers youth a chance to participate and develop their interests in a variety of camp offerings, including mountain biking, circus techniques, skateboarding, dance, pioneering, gymnastics, science, theater, horseback riding, technology, music, water sports and a myriad of other activities.

Under the supervision of qualified, conscientious and nurturing staff, youth will experience the excitement of challenge and the satisfaction of success. Youth receive interest-based instruction to help develop poise and mastery of skills in a variety of areas. Information about the camp is available online at www.islandlake.com.
