- The GCDS Mini Camp program is a unique, choose-your-own-adventure summer experience that allows a child to pick one morning (AM) session or one afternoon (PM) session…or both! The optional Early Birds and Lunch Bunch programs round out the day.
- While families sign up for sessions starting in January, sessions will only run if they reach a predetermined capacity by late spring. If the session you chose doesn’t run, we will make sure to place you in another session of your choice or offer you a full refund.
