Kids Village is excited to offer the final two weeks of their Summer in the Village program, filled with unique opportunities for your children to learn everyday skills in an interactive, hands-on environment. environ-ment. Each theme described below will run for one week, Monday through Friday. Parents may sign their child up for the morning session, from 9am to noon, or the afternoon session, from 1pm to 4pm. Workshop costs are $75 for children ages 3 to 5 and $95 for children ages 6 to 15. A sibling discount is offered, where families fam-ilies will receive 10 percent off the cost when two or more children from the same family attend a camp. Classes have filled up quickly, so please sign up early. Kids Village also offers special spe-cial workshops that fulfill merit badge requirements. Rocks, Trees, and Dirty Knees (August 2-6) When we sit beneath the shade of a large tree it's hard to imagine that a tiny seed had the potential to grow into something so magnificent. This week we are exploring many of the wonderful ways we can use the different differ-ent trees of the world. Delicious fruit pies from the bakery, handmade bird-houses, bird-houses, and hand-pressed paper are only a few of the useful things we will make from trees. At Kids Village, we believe that planting small seeds of knowledge and confidence in children will help them accomplish whatever they believe they are capable of becoming. As children experiment with the wonderful things that come from trees, they will be experiencing the fruits that can come from planting a seed of knowledge and helping it grow. Helping Hearts (August 9-13) Of all the incredible things in the world, people are the most amazing! In a society that sometimes forgets the unique potential of each person, we at Kids Village feel it's our responsibility respon-sibility to share our special gifts and talents with those less fortunate than ourselves. For our final week of Summer in the Village each child will play a special part as we show gratitude grati-tude for our summer of learning and growing. We will be busy creating loom hats and lap quilts for those in need, and writing letters of appreciation apprecia-tion to our loyal servicemen and women. It's easy to focus on ourselves in this world. Let's teach kids the way to be truly happy throughout life-to give of themselves. Kids Village is located at 1642 North State Street inOrem.
