We are working on a week long cultural day camp, potentitally in the Central Ohio area to start. Cost might be approximately $225-250, simular to the cost of other specialized day camps. This camp would not focus on adoption but on culture of Russia/Former Soviet Union (FSU). Similar camps from this organization are 1 week long, from 9AM - 4PM daily for K-12 with before and after care available for an extra charge (7-9AM $50/week and 3-6PM $60/week).
If you are from out of town, we will help find affordable lodging and help arrange evening networking.
Let us know if you are interested at camp@FRUA-Ohio.org

Would anyone be interested in a family yoga session?
It would be a one time thing, to start. NO experience necessary. The adults would do restorative Yoga, which is basically deep breathing in relaxing poses. The kids would be someplace else with a different teacher doing kid type Yoga.
Cost would be nominal $5-10 per person for one hour. We could have it on a weekend with an optional lunch/dinner afterwards. Location is Milford.
