Each day at Valley Heights 21st CCLC Camp Exploration, kids run to the door excited to make memories and adventures with their friends and classmates! As funds continue to be frozen we continue to make a difference in the lives of our youth and the families of our communities! #AfterschoolWorks

Even though they have frozen our funds, Valley Heights 21st CCLC Camp Exploration continues to come out smelling like a rose! We stayed hot within the community by volunteering at the Harvesters Food Truck, and continue to learn, stay safe, healthy, and have fun all summer long! #AfterschoolWorks

Due to unforeseen circumstances online enrollment will not be available until August 4th! Please stay tuned for future updates & a reminder that in person enrollment is August 6th from 11AM - 7PM.
