Kid’s Camp 2013 brought new faces and new places together. From the top of the mountain on England Branch to George and Janice’s gardens to tubing on Deep Creek, swimming in the pool, doing string art with Allison, making our own ice cream, fishing at the Trout Pond, drumming with Mardie, picking berries at Stoney Hollow Farms and performing “The Wizard of Ahhh”, this year’s kid’s camp included a variety of activities. Ages ranged from 6 to 17 and campers came from Portland, OR, Wilmington, NC, Ohio, Kansas, Knoxville, TN, Georgia, Colorado and Robbinsville, NC. Everyone had the opportunity to get to know each other as they partnered with different kids throughout the week. Kids also helped with meal set up and clean up. See photos from the week below:
