Ga Center UGA Summer Camp for Future Leaders

My daughter is in 7th grade at MBMS & I am an Oconee graduate and am hoping you could help me promote a summer camp I will be leading in conjunction with the GA Center.
I am gearing it to adolescents 13-15 years old and want to develop leadership skills while also exposing them to basic child development concepts kids this age are interested in.
They will be learning sensory activities like making play-doh & gloop and how that helps a child's motor skills and brain development.
Then they'll have the opportunity to take those fun things they've made into the 3/4yr old classrooms at the CDL and guide the children with open-ended questions and play.
They'll also have the chance to begin the volunteer training program for teenagers at Sandy Creek Nature Center to assist on trail hikes and children's activities.
I think the students in the Education & Training Career Cluster would find this camp an extension to what they are learning in class.
I'm attaching the link that lists other activities/field trips I'm planning for the week.
Since middle school doesn't send home Friday folders, I don't know how to get the word out to students and their parents.
