Tomorrow's Graduation

Tomorrow is Graduation Day!!!

Graduation will begin at 10:30am.

Please do not arrive before 9:30am.


The weather looks promising. If nothing drastic happens weather-wise, graduation will be held outside. There will be a limited number of chairs. Please bring your own chairs if you do not want to stand.

This will be the last post for Camp.

Don't forget, if you want to see more pictures, you can get a DVD with the pictures on it for a $20 donation to the camp.

Have a good night everyone, see you tomorrow.

SCUBA Underwater Photo

Here is a sneak peek at one of the underwater photos we were able to take this year. There will be many more on the DVD.

You can order the DVD before graduation begins. We will not be taking orders after. Please remember to bring your order forms with you, we will have a limited number of extra forms before graduation.
