FREE, Military Kid Art Camp Petersburg, Virginia Camp Dates- July 7-11, 2014 With the amount of snow we all experienced this winter it is hard to imagine a warm summer. If you have children in the house, you know, now is the time to start planning for summer and summer camps before the choice programs are filled. The Military Kid Art Camp is a rare offer.
