We have so many artistic campers who visit our beautiful park!
We ran a logo contest this summer and have chosen our winners!
Because there were so many great entries, we have chosen 3 per category, junior camper and senior campers!
We unfortunately did not have a space for contact info (thanks to those who included their info) so some we do not have contact info. We are posting the photos without the names and if you one of the artists send us a message through messenger.
We will post the final modifications made to the design so they can be made into promotional merchandise!
Please note that not all designs will be used in the first season but will get added in as merchandise sells!
Thanks so much to everyone who participated in this activity! We had fun going through all the amazing entries!!
