Mad Science Offers Free Summer Camps

July 29th, 2009

The children of recently unemployed workers are being offered free summer camps for their kids my Mad Science Waukesha County, Wisconsin.  Quite often summer camps are the plum of the middle and upper class and losing one’s job can snatch this developmental part of summer right away.  Kudos to Mad Science for stepping up and offering to help those families who are down.   The initial Mad Science offer was extended to ten children, no small amount for the local division.  For more information on the Mad Science camps that are being offer near Waukesha in Wisconsin, check out their website.
