Our goal was to feature a mixed-media guide lovingly crafted by campers and staff for the next generation.The project formally closed in Jan. 2026. With the funds made in leftover sales, we were able to make a $390 USD donation to the Child and Youth division of United Global Mental Health. Thanks for your support!
