(Mandel JCC Anisfield @ Burton)
Sunday, July 10, 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
More than 400 people attended PJ Library® Goes to Camp Wise last summer. This year, we’re bringing family FUN to the other side of the lake (literally) thanks to the generosity of Yoda Newton Share the Luv.

Pre-register and get a cool camp gift!
