Extras for the Summer Programs This summer a volunteer, Ann Peltier, will offer “Let’s have fun in Spanish” every Tuesday and Thursday before camp – starting at 9:00 am. Ann volunteered at The Padua Center last summer and wanted to come back this year and be more involved and share her Spanish skills.
In addition, on Wednesday from 9:00-10:00 students can join the Padua Potters
Garden Club. This special club will provide opportunities and outings for students to grow in their understanding of gardening
