Fun Summer at the DLC

Ah, this blog has been a bit lonely. We've been busy! Just a few notes about what's happening this summer at the DLC:

Tomorrow we're ending a 3-week set of fiber arts classes led by Vaiva. It's been great! We want more! Each class is self-contained, so come on by tomorrow to weave on hula hoops. Really.

Heather has been leading a new weekly club, Tech Club. In this club, kids bring their computer-related projects, from programming to art, to share with other kids who like to use computers. Your children can attend whether they have something to share or not. Also suggested is that kids bring mentors who can give everyone ideas for further exploration. Usually on Thursday mornings, but note next week's rescheduling for the 4th of July.

Collectible Card Games on Mondays has been fun - some older kids have been playing Magic the Gathering, and some younger kids are starting up Pokemon. Come on by and check it out.

Starting July 8 we have the first week of a new addition to DLC summers: Summer Camp, homeschool-style. July 8 to 12 we're offering Camp USA for 5 to 12-year-olds. July 15-19 we have Making Sense of the World for 8-and-up. Our camps are cheap - $50! - and parents are asked to stay only one day to help out.

We are thrilled to announce the first week of cartooning classes with wonderful local cartoonist and author Jon "Bean" Hastings, July 8-12 after Camp USA. If there is interest, he will offer a second week for more advanced artists later in the summer. Check out his work here.

Finally, August is board election time and we are looking for homeschooling parents and community members who are interested in helping out. Please e-mail us if you'd like more information.
