Welcome to OES

Students from preschool age to adults are attending camps at OES this summer.
Above is a session of "Tea Party Fun," a camp in which participants learned about
the traditions of the tea party by exploring books, practicing etiquette, dressing up,
and, of course, baking tea party treats.
