As promised, pictures from week 1. From archery to campfire skits., from wood burning to marshmallow catapults, from arts and just pure friendship, we had a blast. We now turn to Week 2 which is in a couple weeks. Registration is still open, but we need more participants in order to run it. Register using the flyer down below. Thanks for everything our supporters do to bring this kind of happiness to people's faces.
