Gloop, Glop, Mud, and Gunk Camp

Campers Entering Grades 5-6 and 7-8
Mud-Dirt-Sand-and Muck.   Has your mom ever told you to stop being so messy, or to go clean up?  You won't hear that from our counselors this week!  From mud statues to swamp walks, if it involves gloop, glop, mud, or gunk, we are going to get into it.  If that sounds like your cup of slop, then join us for this fun and disgusting camp.  Please bring old clothes and shoes with you to this camp.  Don't worry parents...we will hose down before getting in your clean car.
