Take a look at a slideshow with highlights from 2007's Kinder Camp!

Hobart and William Smith Colleges are very excited to announce our newest addition to our Summer Camps, Kinder Camp for Grades 1 and 2! We have answered the community's request for a camp geared toward the youngest campers in the area by offering a fun-filled, academically based summer program for campers entering grades 1 and 2. Students will have the opportunity to choose different venues throughout the summer and will be provided with fun, hands-on experiences to expand and enhance their inner-selves.
