Those dates are great! Right before college starts again! I cant wait for next fall. Since there will be a rock wall I will have to practice up this year and see if I can make it all the way by next fall. I keep working hard to get better ROM.
I can't wait to see every one again!
Judy, are you still going to climb with me?

Thanks so much for every one working on getting camp set up again! You all rock!

I missed the past camp, although being that it was on the east coast it would have been sooooo convenient for us. I do think that I will be trying to bring Amber and myself to the next camp, although it is all the way to the other side of the country, but well worth it it seems. Very exciting information. Keep us all posted!

Hey Rachel! Doing great here. Hope you and your family are well too. Camp in Washington D.C. was wonderful, the Zoo, the sites, and the tour of George Washington's home was cool too. But the best part is definatly seeing our UBPN family. We seen old friends and made new ones. Megan and I love camp and can't wait till the next one. The first camp we went to was the one in New York. What a neat and beautiful place it was. My hat goes off to all the BOD who make it happen!!!!!! Bless them all.
