Making Some Musical Magic!🎸☀️

This week, campers explored their musical side with ukulele, got active through a variety of sports and recreation activities, and took on new challenges that kept everyone moving, creating, and having fun.

From learning new skills to working together, trying new activities, and cheering each other on, campers built confidence, coordination, teamwork, and lasting memories throughout the week.
