Las Vegas 2008 summer camp

Jul 4, 2008   //   by Trimpe   //   activities  //  2 Comments

Only 10 days until Horizon Summer Camp becomes a mini Las Vegas getaway. The camp committee has worked hard and have planned a lot of exciting activities for the week. Thanks to the hard work from the recruitment committee, this year summer camp will be are largest with a love of new participants. Even though, we have filled all our spaces there are still opportunities for you to become involved. On Saturday afternoon July 12, Horizon will be setting up camp for the week and we could use some help for a few hours. More importantly on Saturday, July 19 we have the task of cleaning up camp and repacking the shed, and we could always use extra hands to help.
Visitors day it is on Friday, July 18. Please let us know if you are able to come down and would like to have dinner with us. Finally one last way to help with this year summer camp is to donate a Sam’s Club or Wal-Mart gift card. Even a little $10 gift card can go a long way in helping us cut some of our costs. If you would like to help, planning on visiting or want to donate a gift card please e-mail Michael.Trimpe@associationofhorizon.org by July 9 and I will get back to you right away. And remember “what happens at Camp Horizon stays at Camp Horizon”
