| THIRD THURSDAYS CONTINUES |
 We have had a great success with our new monthly program, Third Thursdays! Spend the day at Pyoca helping us maintain our facility - we have lots to do! Upcoming projects include woodworking, organizing, staining and painting! Please contact Rich Swartwood if you can make it on the Third Thursday of each month (June 17) or another day if you are not able to come that day! Come as a group, or by yourself. We'll make sure you have fun (and a great lunch!) We will offer this throughout the summer, however we will need to have a simple and brief form filled out for each person prior to coming for a criminal background check during the summer months to protect our campers! |
| 2011 RETREAT AVAILABILITY |
