PNA’s Dragon Room Summer Program registration opens soon

March 5th, 2010 by Doree

The Phinney Neighborhod Preschool Co-op (PNPC) is once again holding a series of camps for kids this summer.

The Dragon Room Summer Program is a series of week-long, half-day camps for young children sponsored by the Phinney Neighborhood Preschool Co-op (PNPC) and held in the PNPC’s enchanted Dragon Room at the Phinney Neighborhood Center. Open to PNPC families and community members, the Dragon Room Summer Program offers rich and diverse classes for preschoolers and elementary aged children. The classes are drop-off so do not require parental involvement, but you are always welcome to stay for all or part of the class to explore along with your child.

See the website for class descriptions and registration information. Registration opens to current PNPC families on March 29, to PNA members on April 2 and to the general public on April 5.
