EAGLE DAY CAMPS FOR KIDS
For fun-seeking students entering grades one through five summer fun has been a staple at OHLS, but in 2010 fun and excitement has been taken to a whole new level! That’s because we have a mixture of new and “old” favorite theme weeks. We have also added lots of new and exciting activities and field trips! Check out the excitement planned for 2010!

A TYPICAL DAY AT OHLS

Oak Hall Summer Camp will be participating in community service projects each week. Campers will participate in the community service projects. Some of the service projects will include a book drive for Shand’s Children’s Hospital and a can food drive for local shelters. Oak Hall Summer Camp would like to encourage involvement in community organizations through community service projects. Each week the campers will participate in a competition to encourage their involvement. At the end of each week the winning group will receive an ice cream party and the group that wins the most weeks during the summer will receive a pizza party at the end of the summer! Please join us in our efforts to teach our children the importance of community service projects throughout the summer.
