The Warren County Community Foundation helped partially fund Robotics Camp this year. There were 51 students who enjoyed the 4-day camp held at the Learning Center. The Foundation went back on the last day of camp to award a grant for $10,000 to fully fund the camp for 2023 and 2024! This grant was made possible through a grant the Foundation received.
