Summer 2009 Services
Summer 2009 is obviously over... but this page remains for reference purposes. This page does not necessarily represent services that will be available next summer. Look for a new summer services page then!
KidsLink offers a number of special summer programs. These programs are detailed below and in our Summer 2009 brochure. To sign up for one of these programs, you can fill out the Program Interest Form in the brochure and mail or fax it to us. (The address and fax number are provided on the form.) Alternately, you can fill out the web form on our Schedule an Appointment page. Be sure to choose Other Group from the "Choose provider/service" pop-up and use the Additional Information field to let us know which program you are interested in.
Regardless of which form you fill out, KidsLink staff will contact you for additional details once the form is received.
