Happy Fall Everyone!,
Another summer has gone to fast; memories have been made and we are now settling back into the routine of school. We hope everyone had a smooth transition and is o to a great start! As the colder weather approaches, we think back to those hot summer days and we are extremely grateful for the sta who worked long hours to make it a great summer, for our campers whose smiles and energy kept us going all day and for our camp families who trusted us with their children. IT WAS A SUMMER TO NEVER FORGET!
As much as we love summer, the fall weather signals the holidays that come with it! We wanted to share some of my favorite crafts with you and hope you enjoy family time making them!
