Along the way\, they’ll discover new passions and gain essential life skills. No experience needed—just a love for exploring. Watch their world expand! \nThis is a small group program. Space is limited. \nAMP’s summer programs are made possible in part by Thomaston Savings Bank.\nScholarships may be available.
