JAVPAAK camp to return to Highland Middle School

It is the only time and place where you can JAV and PAAK all in the same week.

Summer JAVPAAK camp at Highland Middle School is now offering two separate camps — one for students entering grades K-3 and another for students entering grades 4-9. Both camps run from from Monday, June 15 to Friday, June 19 at HMS.

JAVPAAK offers a week of fun-filled, action-packed, non-stop activity for students. JAVPAAK is for kids interested in not sitting on the couch.

Summer JAVPAAK also provides opportunities for children to learn valuable skills and make new friends through activities that are challenging, educational, rewarding and fun.

For more information on either camp, see the HMS website, Google JAVPAAK, Facebook JAVPAAK, or contact Mecala Scholl at mscholl@highlandcusd5.org.
