06/26-07/07 | Everyone Gets Eaten by Sharks (8-day) | Gr 7-12 | Teen Camp | 9:30am-2:30pm | Mon-Fri | A delightfully madcap comedy you're sure to devour . . . unless it devours you first.

But you can postpone the inevitable (and get a great deal on a timeshare!) by joining Adventure Dan on a tour through shark-infested scenarios to avoid: kayaking with meat paddles, night-swimming after prom, and genetically engineering sharks for science. Because two things in life are certain: death and taxes (and specifically, death by shark). | NO | SE | Donny Gersonde
