And, again, (and last but not least!), my dear friend, Michael Potts of Caspar Institute, for his many hours focused on enhancing our website, making it more user-friendly and up-to-date, and donating much valuable time to this camp!

Something so good can only happen with the generous support of people who care. This is the stuff that keeps us going year after year. This is why we’re so very grateful! 

Thank you!
