Holiday Fun

Colorado campers were asked back for the 2009 program. We had events in Denver and Alamosa. The 23 campers asked to continue to participate in the program wrote little papers on what they learned at camp this past summer. They also made old-fashioned Christmas ornaments and decorated the Christmas Tree in the old Broadway classroom.
