On the subject of the young aristotles program. We would probably finalize the dates that it will occur and begin actively promoting it. Additionally people who will be mentors/counselors should begin meeting and going over the curriculum so that we can make sure we have all of the materials we need. A concern i had was i don't know I'd we need any sort of certification to run a summer camp type activity, if we do it might be easier this year to piggy back on an Eestablished summer camp
