MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The last bell of the school year will ring out on Thursday afternoon, signaling the start of summer vacation for thousands of Montgomery area K-12 students. But this bell will sound more like an alarm clock to parents who haven’t yet devised a plan to keep their kids occupied for the next three months. Luckily, the Auburn Montgomery Division of Continuing Education is still enrolling children of all ages – preschool to 12th grade – in a variety of summer camps and courses running weekly through July 26.

Highlights for 2013 include:

-       Skateboarding Camp – Learn to kick flip and grind at this new camp held at Montgomery’s Skate Park.
