Registration is essential.  Interested youth should be ages 10 and up or at least entering grade five in the fall.  Please do register as soon as possible as we need a minimum number of students to make this camp work.

Thanks to and a shout-out to the Atkinson Garden Club for sponsoring this camp!

CRAZY 8’S SUMMER CAMP: Crazy 8s is a recreational math program that helps kids enjoy the math behind their favorite activities! With Crazy 8s, kids will build glow-in-the-dark structures, crack secret spy codes and play games like Toilet Paper Olympics.

Would you like your children (grades 1-4) to enjoy math more and to see that it has a purpose in our everyday life? Have them join us as we move through 8 math based activities in REALLY fun ways! This fun filled camp will run for five consecutive days from 4:00 to 5:30 PM from August 6-10. Registrants are expected to attend all five sessions.

Waivers will be required for all students participating. Drop off is at 4:00 sharp and pick up at 5:30. Thank you for being prompt. :)  Limited spots available- sign up today!

Please note we will need a minimum of eight sign ups in order to run this program. We will contact you in the event of cancellation.

VOLARE JAZZ BAND: Join us as we welcome the ‘Volare Jazz Band’ into our beautiful acoustically sweet courtyard on Thursday, August 2nd, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. This talented group of musicians are from the Timberlane Community Band. They perform a repertoire of big band tunes from yesterday and today with a modern, jazzy, swinging edge.  All ages can enjoy the great music!

As always we suggest that you bring a blanket or a lawn chair as there is limited seating in the courtyard hillside.  Watch the weather and our website (kimballlibrary.com) for cancellations as this event will be cancelled due to inclement weather. This jazzy event is sponsored by our wonderful Friends of the Kimball Library.
