LOCK HAVEN -Summer Happening is back with new classes.
Classes are now being offered to seventh and eighth graders, too. In this year's camp, participants can become a martial artist with "Be a Karate Kid," swim like a fish with "Swimmer Happenings," become a television personality with our very own "Today Show," and get your Zumba on with "Moovin' and Groovin."
Summer Happening is a fun and exciting program that offers educational opportunities for students in Pre-K through eighth grade.
This one-week camp has proven to be a favorite among students in Clinton County. With new course offerings and the return of some of your favorites, this year's camp is sure to include lots of fun in the sun.
Summer Happening runs from July 23 to 27. Class times are 9 to 11:30 a.m. and noon to 2:30 p.m. Students can choose two courses to attend this summer.

There is a $10 late fee for those who register after July 10.
