Summer Camp Fair Directory
The SUMMER CAMP FAIR directory is now online. Please let know camps you plan to attend that you found out about their camp from the directory. If you missed the event, please plan to come next March. 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 an event like the 21st annual Summer Camp Fair, which brings camp directors and summer program leaders from around the country to one location. 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 American Camp Association, Indiana and Indiana's News Center.

Happening this week...
Here are some important dates and times to help keep you on schedule.
Fort Wayne book unveiled
One year ago, Canterbury Lower School students announced they had a special present for the city of Fort Wayne. This special gift was that they were studying about Fort Wayne, visiting its sites, researching the city’s most famous people, taking photos and illustrating buildings and monuments. And all of this activity would culminate into a book that could be used by children to learn more about Fort Wayne. In the process the students developed and used skills in computer technology, library research, social studies, photography, art, teamwork, organization, writing and interviewing. On October 22, Fort Wayne’s 215th birthday, the students unveiled the new book during a special presentation. The news media and Mayor Tom Henry were on hand to see the finished product. The books 68 pages include Fort Wayne Attractions, Famous Faces, Landmarks, Parks, Sports, a Famous Faces quiz, and a Math Is Everywhere in Fort Wayne quiz. Mayor Henry was very impressed with the book and is sending a copy to Fort Wayne’s three sister cities in Germany, Poland and Japan. He thanked Sabrina Minser, who spearheaded the project, the Lower School faculty and all the students for creating a book about Fort Wayne especially for children. The book is being distributed to schools, libraries and the organizations featured. The public may purchase the book at Mitchell Books or the Canterbury School admission/development/publications office for $5. Proceeds will cover the cost of printing the book.
