Wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

I am amazed that all the school age children were so quiet while being creative at the summer camp and they were such a big group! The projects taught were fun and very creative. Who would have thought of using an old plastic bottle like that? Each child came up with innovative ideas and put their own quirky stamp on the project! Save the Planet, ECO Crafts! was a BIG hit! You must come back soon, Laura! - Daycare Director, Toronto west end
