My Village Camps is a traditional day camp in Chula Vista that focuses on creating a fun, positive environment that encourages kids to be themselves. Learn more at myvillagecamps.com My Village Camps and Microsoft Store in the Fashion Valley Mall are hosting a FREE social media workshop for parents to learn how kids are using tools such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Elementary school aged children have a variety of tools readily available to them to connect and engage with their friends. This workshop is for those parents that want to learn more about how these sites benefit and pose dangers to the kids.
