Address: 5110 Allan Terrace, Bethesda, Maryland 20816

Who we are: My name is Doug Cohen and I am a former Lafayette student and president. I am running a summer camp with my friend Nick Telma. We are 2021 graduates from St. John’s College High School and current college freshmen: I am attending Washington University in St. Louis and Nick is attending Villanova university in Philadelphia. We both love sports and have both been involved in a variety of sports throughout high school ranging from lacrosse, diving, wrestling, cross country, and baseball. Also, Nick has coached lacrosse regularly for over a year and I have coached diving for three summers. Our love for sports has led us to establish the Wolf Pack Camp to encourage team building and physical activity.
|
|
Mission: Wolf Pack Sports and Games Camp’s mission is to offer a safe and fun environment to our community where your son can release his energy, learn good sportsmanship, build friendships, and be happily entertained for many days in the summer.
|
We are excited for this summer and would love to have your son join the Pack!

Les Misérables is the world’s longest running musical -- a true modern classic based on Victor Hugo's novel and featuring one of the most memorable scores of all time. The multi-award-winning Les Misérables is as groundbreaking today as it was when it first premiered in London in 1985. Les Misérables School Edition is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

In France, Jean Valjean is released from years of unjust imprisonment, but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a lifelong struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways. Valjean is pulled out of the shadows as he crosses the path of the crooked Thenardier family, the Poor, and rebellious University students who aim to change the world. Finally, during a student uprising, Javert and Valjean must face each other and confront their life choices and ideals.
