Blues Bash thanks all those who attended and donated to our Blues Bash this year. Your generosity helps send more deserving children to Camp Mariposa! Thank you!

Camp Mariposa in Dayton, Ohio, is designed just for them. The program lets these children share their experiences, learn coping strategies and, most importantly, get to be kids.

This year’s Blues Bash held November 8 at the Dayton Country Club will help send more children impacted by substance abuse to the fun and supportive environment of Camp Mariposa. Be sure to save the date!

There’s no place like camp 🏕 We‘re glad the heat wave has ended, because it’s almost time to start packing our bags for Camp Mariposa!

Camp Mariposa, part of the Eluna Network, is designed youth ages 9-12 who have been impacted by substance abuse in their families. Our campers enjoy traditional camp exercises along side support activities led by mental health professionals and mentors. We’re headed out for the weekend of July 26-28, with two more weekends in 2019: September 6-8 and December 13-15.

If you know a kid who could benefit from a little fun and support, contact Wendy today: [email protected]
