Mini camp will be June 25-27, 2018. Week 1 Cap will be July 23-27, 2018 and Week 2 Camp will be July 30 - August 3, 2018. Each session will accommodate 40 campers.

Camp this year will be at Camp Sinawa in Valders. The Director is Linda Gordon and Co-Director is Kathie Miller. Other staff members will be medical staff, activity, arts & crafts, nature and many other things.
