If you re a seasoned camper then you already know - camp life is the best life! We have been working hard to get our camps spruced up for the summer and believe you ll see a difference in the hard work our two new camp managers, Tammy Fail and Meredith Frazier, have been putting in. They are both wonderful assets to our council and we hope you get to know them this summer! We can t wait to hear all the stories you come back with about exploring the great outdoors, making awesome new friends, facing your fears and trying new things and SO MUCH MORE!
