WHITE MEMORIAL CAMP AND CONFERENCE CENTER
Message From SARA SHAW
Online Registration for Holiday Camp is now open.
Space is limited so sign up today!
If you are interested in sponsoring a child for camp this holiday season please contact Sara Shaw @ wmcucc@tctelco.net or call 620-767-5165. Last year 21 campers attended Holiday Camp. Of that 21 all but 1 came on scholarship, and more than half told me the only thing they got under their tree was the gift of camp. Holiday Camp is a true mission of providing some warmth to others in need this holiday season. We couldn't offer this without the love and support of many of you. Thank you and Happy Holidays J

Things for the Campers:

- Hats
- Gloves
- Socks
- Long sleeve shirts or sweat shirts
- Long pants
- Old Coats
- Small gifts for boys and girls ages 7 - 16
