Week ✌🏼! Patrick and Pulaski-you reminded us that camp magic is not found in perfection, but rather in the moments we come together when things aren’t perfect.

This camp family showed up this week. The staff, teens, and adults gave their all, and we couldn’t be more grateful for this incredible team. So one question…Botetourt and Montgomery….you ready for week 3?!😎
