| WINTER CAMP | |
 Our Winter Campers have been enjoying many great activities during the month of January. Campers sang karaoke, baked muffins, played bingo and had a bottle rocket contest. They learned about weather with Mad Science, saw horses from Circle H Ranch, made bowls with Super Awesome Cool Pottery, and tasted honey from local bee keepers. Best of all, they learned about giving back to their community. Campers had a contest to see who could raise the most money for Change this World, and then packaged meals to send to victims of the recent typhoon that hit the Philippines. Each quarter raised equaled one meal, and they packaged over 1,000 meals!
Check out photos of all the fun at our Facebook page.
