A two-headed tan and brown cow stands on a grassy knoll. A bright blue sky with puffy white clouds and a bright sun is behind them. A thought bubble appears from between the two heads and has the yellow Accessibility Summer Camp logo in it. The logo is reminiscent of a badge, circular but with triangles poking out the sides all around. The black text stretches around the circle, and a black cartoon figure of a person stands with its arms spread wide in the middle of it.

CowCow is so excited for the 8th annual virtual Accessibility Summer Camp on June 13th! You can register for just $15 and view the program and registration page using the links in the next post!
