Camp is just a week away...

It's hard to believe that Camp at the Woods is about to embark on its 27th journey into the Woods! Just a week from this Sunday, dozens of campers and their parents will be checking in the kids in for a fun-filled week of adventure, mystery and excitement for all! In the meantime, however, we have some of our leaders reporting for duty this Sunday and the rest of the staff reporting on Tuesday for a full week of training in emergency procedures, fire prevention, CPR, camp counseling and much more!

Week one will feature our traditional adventure camp, equine (horseback riding) camp, dance camp, and journalism camp. Equine shows and a dance performance will be featured on Friday, the 13th, and our second annunal camp newspaper will be distributed to all staff, campers, and parents alike on that day as well.

So don't delay...sign up NOW for Camp at the Woods--making memories to make a lifetime!
