TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The University of Alabama Student Recreation Center will be hosting two sessions of the Crimson Campers 2005 day camp May 30-June 24 and July11-29.

Through arts and crafts, sports, games and field trips, the children are given the opportunity to develop leadership skills, experience different activities, and create lasting friendships. The Crimson Camper staff is composed of qualified and well trained individuals.
