Dear Parents,

Week 5 had many highlights - Welcoming our new second session campers, Crazy Hat Day,
Counselor Hot Dog Eating Contest, Ultimate Frisbee Tournament and Red Day.
Red Day paid tribute to Ken's mom (who passed away last year) who always loved camp; she loved watching the children
enjoy the multitude of activities and in the process often making life long friends. She loved the color red - for its personification
of happiness and a positive outlook on life. I want to thank the staff and campers for wearing red on Friday
and in this manner, remembering her!


Week #6  Highlights
Bass Fishing Contest
King of the Blob Contest
