Registration for Summer Break Camps Begins Wednesday

The longer days and warmer weather remind us that summer is right around the corner! Santa Monica residents can consult the 2008 Youth Summer Guide and begin registering March 12 for a summer of fun.

Bursting with camps, classes and activities for kids from age 4 to 17, the guide includes information on:

o Sports

o Cultural camps exploring dance, drama and art

o Water sports at the Santa Monica Swim Center

o Programs at PAL and Virginia Avenue Park

o Camp Santa Monica

This year’s guide also includes information from the Santa Monica Pier (with bonus coupon!) and the Santa Monica Public Library, along with safety tips from the Police Department.

Don’t wait – pick up a copy today at City Hall, the Ken Edwards Center, the Libraries, Reed Park, the Swim Center or Virginia Avenue Park. The guide is also available online at www.smgov.net.

Resident registration for summer break camps begins March 12 and will continue until full; class and workshop registration begins May 21. Non-resident registration begins March 19 and May 28, respectively. Day camp fees may be tax-deductible, and financial assistance is available for some programs.
