Additional comments: My goal for this summer is to make camp a positive and rewarding experience for each and every one of my campers that they will never forget. I am looking forward to spending time with and getting to know your child as we participate in the many fun activities that camp has to offer. I can't wait to meet you and your child! See you at camp!
