Summer programs for kids! Valley Summer Expedition kicked off this past week with 46 young people and 24 workers meeting at Lord Mason Park Monday, June 28. Twelve samples of electives were visited by the students in order to see which one is going to be their first choice during the six week program. The program will continue every Monday and Thursday from 10:00 - 2:00 including lunch at Lord Mason Park and will run until August 5.
