HIGHLIGHTS OF

THE SUMMER

(And what I learned from them)

Candles, Keys and Magic

CEREMONIES

(Costume and Face paint are an added bonus)

WITH A LITTLE IMAGINATION, THE

WORLD CAN BE PURE MAGIC

Sometimes in life, you just need to take a deep breath and jump right in

TRUST YOUR GUT

Take time to yourself. You can’t be 100% focused 100% of the time

PERFORM AUTO-HUMANICS

And that means no one is left behind or forgotten

CAMP IS FAMILY

INTO THE

FUTURE?
