Session 1 Recap

Happy belated Fourth of July!!

Our first session came to a close on June 30th, and despite the rain, the campers all had a FANTASTIC time The campers were able to swim, sail and canoe when we weren't at the mercy of a soaking rain. For majority of their stay, the girls used arts and crafts, photography and indoor games as a creative outlet. The counselors were all spectacular!! They kept the girls entertained and always had fresh ideas to keep the campers happy and attentive. 

Thank you campers and counselors for being such good sports this session. I am so proud of you! Hopefully when you come back next summer, you get to play among endless hours of sunshine. 


Have a wonderful summer vacation!
Tracy 

The Summer Camp Director
