Registration Opens for SUNY Canton Summer Day Camps
SUNY Canton will host a variety of fun, educational summer day camps designed for students in a range of grade levels and areas of interest.
Each camp runs for a one-week period (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.). All campers must bring a water bottle, nut-free lunch and snack each day; however, the college is offering a fee-based daily bagged lunch, drink and snack that can be purchased during the registration process.
Cost is $250 per week with discounts available for multiple camps and/or multiple campers. The STEM and RC Car/Aero STEM camps are at a reduced rate of $50 per student through a partnership with Adirondack North Country Association and a NYSERDA grant. Multiple discounts are not available for those camps.
