Canterbury School's Summer to Shine Programs 2008

Canterbury School's 19th annual Summer Camp Discoveries Fair was held on March 2, 2008.

Summer brings the promise of so many opportunities for children: adventure, learning, excitement and growth. Parents can realize this potential by planning a diverse and fun array of activities for the entire summer in just one afternoon at the 19th annual Summer Camp Discoveries Fair, which brings camp directors and summer program leaders from around the country to one location.

Canterbury School’s Summer Camp Discoveries Fair was held noon-4 p.m. on Sunday, March 2 at the newly expanded Canterbury High School, 3210 Smith Road, Fort Wayne, Indiana. The event was free and open to the public.

There is no other opportunity like this in northeast Indiana. Camps from around the country were at the Summer Camp Discoveries Fair, offering choices parents might not otherwise be aware of or have access to.

These include overnight camps and day camps with programs for the outdoors, academics, athletics, computers, arts, horseback riding, performance, foreign languages, special needs and more.

The American Camp Association was on hand to talk with parents and answer questions about camp from what to pack to is my child ready?

Throughout the afternoon, parents were able to ask questions one-on-one with camp representatives and take home program literature. They learned about possible scholarship opportunities offered by various camps to help with costs. Families also can register for door prizes and receive a free copy of the American Camp Association’s CAMP Magazine as well as camp directory, while supplies last. Many camps also had activities for kids at their booths.

It’s a simple way for busy parents to plan a super summer for children and teens as young as age 2 all the way through high school.

The Camp Fair is organized by Canterbury School and cosponsored by the Fort Wayne YMCA; the American Camp Association, Indiana; and Indiana's News Center.
