Awards will be given in many categories and campers will receive a camp T-shirt. According to camp director John Elder, every child will receive personal instruction, positive encouragement and a sense of belonging. The camp operates on a first-come, first-serve basis. Applicants will be enrolled when the registration form and payment in full is received. Registration needs to be received by June 15.
