Summer Camp closed on Friday, July 30, and it was an
enormous success. Financially, this year was even more
challenging that last, and yet we had 101 campers over two
weeks, participating in 35 weeklong activities and trips.
When the counselors, counselors-in-training and
grasshoppers (children of workshop leaders who are too
young for camp) are added in, over 150 local young people
enjoyed the benefits of camp this summer.
The only way this camp can work is with the support of
hundreds of people. Thank you so much for your
contributions to and support of the 2010 VerShare Community
Camp! Such a huge endeavor is
successful only because we have so much support from so many
people. We thank you all!!!
