Beaver Summer Camp news

Campers and staff had a blast at this Wednesday’s Beaverpalooza, Upper Camp’s much-anticipated yearly event that kicks off Beaver’s campaign to sponsor Camp to Belong. During the fun-filled, lively, and charitable event on the front circle, campers played games such as Water Tank Coin Toss, Ladder Ball, Human Ring Toss, and many more! Participating in these activities earned campers tickets representing camp supply items to be donated to Camp to Belong, which is is an organization that reunites siblings who are in separate out-of-home placements.
