Summer fun and education just got more affordable in the Altoona, Eau Claire, and Chippewa Falls school districts. Each district offers to cover tuition for select programs, classes, and summer camps for students within their boundaries. From theater to STEM classes, nature discovery groups to artistic pursuits, parents can get several hundred dollars worth of classes covered (minus the material fees) by simply searching out programs their child may be passionate about and interested in. The organization itself will help parents determine if their classes are eligible for district coverage. To find a whole heap of camps in the surrounding area, visit ChippewaValleyFamily.org and search CAMPS.
