1 community programs Camps, Sports Clinics & Lessons, and Community Events

2 Welcome! I am proud to announce the expansion of children, adult, and family programming through the College for Continuing and Professional Studies at Chatham University. In 2015 we will begin to offer year round programming in the form of camps, clinics, workshops, and community events. The University has seen much success in the Music and Arts Day Camp, which is celebrating its 59th year serving the Pittsburgh community. It is our goal to provide similar experiences to children and young adults in the realm of music, art, sports and many more! You ll also find that we are now offering events at Chatham s Eden Hall Campus in Pine Township. Eden Hall is the world s first academic community designed and built from the ground up for studying (and living) sustainability. This is an exciting opportunity for the University and we look forward to launching programs on this beautiful, sustainable campus. To register, visit our website at If you have any questions about the programs in this booklet, please do not hesitate to contact me at the number or listed below. Kind Regards, Alicia Danenberg, Director of Camps and Special Programming daycamp@chatham.edu
