Camp is off to a fantastic start! As of this afternoon we have two-thirds of the show on the field! Our students are doing great and we have some great leadership happening!
We will have a camp performance that will be open to the public as a part of our camp at 3:00. We will wrap up our camp at the end of the performance. The performance will be on the marching band field behind the school.
