On January 29, students and parents from across the St. Louis area gathered at the McDonnell Athletic Center at for the Summer Opportunities Fair.

About 150 booths were set up for people to get information about programs across Missouri, the United States and the world. There were a wide variety of opportunities to check out, including academic programs, arts camps, athletic camps and wilderness camps. The selection of programs available were for kids ages 3 to 18.
