Learning how to manage our emotions and not “blow our top” was our May Youth Camp Mariposa theme! Making and launching rockets was a “blast” and our potting jubilee with Juju Plant Company was a perfect creative outlet…and who doesn’t love zip lining and playing outdoors ~ transforming lives, one Camp at a time 🦋
