Be Part of Lekha Summer Camp 2010
For the past four summers, Bay Area
children have enjoyed Lekha's enthusiastic and
hands on creative writing program. It's no
wonder that more than 98% of parents whose
children attend Lekha Camps say they would
recommend us to a friend. Each year, we have
seen a growing number of return students,
many of whom continue in our afterschool
programs as well. Last year we expanded to five new locations. This year we shall conduct camps in locations near the five locations and offer camps through various recreation and community centers all around the Bay Area.
These camps are offered for children entering 2nd grade through 12th grade or between the ages 7-17.
