Truckee Roundhouse Announces 2025 Summer Kids Camps and Scholarships
The Truckee Roundhouse announces its 2025 Summer Kids Camps, a unique opportunity for young creators to explore their passions and develop hands-on skills in a makerspace environment. Registration is now open for a variety of creative camps designed to inspire curiosity and build confidence in children aged 8 to 11.
