So, put on your Phillies shirt and join the fun!

Mystery Trip ???
Date to be announced
Depart from camp: To be announced
Return: To be announced

The word is "mum" and the suspense is growing as campers try to guess where they are going this day. It will remain a surprise (we hope) until we arrive at our location for some fun entertainment. If parents want to know this destination in advance, inquire with the Day Camp Director or the SACE office after the start of the summer program. The date of this adventure will also be available by the start of camp. We ask parents to keep this information confidential so as not to ruin the surprise for the children. Departure & return times will be announced in camp.
