http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/mimi/26841 I've been looking for some info about the summer adventure camp that TVRPD usually has, but I'm failing to find it. Has it been in the paper and I've missed it? I've gone to the TVRPD web site and there is no info about any events going on. I'd really like to know when they're holding swimming lessons as well! I haven't seen anything coming home with my daughter so I don't know if they're not sending anything out or what. Does anyone have any information about it?
